Answer 1

Because importlib-metadata releases v5.0.0 yesterday which it remove deprecated endpoint.

You can set importlib-metadata<5.0 in ur setup.py so it does not install latest version.

Or if you use requirements.txt, you can as well set importlib-metadata below version 5.0 e.g importlib-metadata==4.13.0

This works, thanks. I notice that importlib-metadata is in the stack trace of errors and decided to try out your solution. – Hanleigh

Am still confused about setup.py, since am using Django with requirements.txt is this where am supposed to set importlib-metadata==4.13.0 ? – Picard

It worked finally – Picard

This also creates an issue when using xarray.open_dataset() – Tanney

This also solved a similar issue I had with python3.7 and bandit==1.7.1 – Burrton

Solved issue with celery with shadow installation of latest version of import-lib – Parasiticide

!pip install importlib-metadata==4.13.0 will solve the problem. It will also work for those having issues getting xarray to work in Google Colab. – Pipit

has this been fixed in v6.0.0? – Dixil

Answer 2

As importlib-metadata released v5.0.0, it removed the deprecated endpoint. So Use the older version and do not install the latest version.

!pip install importlib-metadata==4.13.0

Use this in the terminal/Collab to get an older version(v4.13.0).

!pip install importlib-metadata==4.13.0 will solve the problem. It will also work for those having issues getting xarray to work in Google Colab – Pipit

Answer 3

If you are using certain forks of Redash or even the official Redash, you need to pin its importlib-metadata to 4.12.0 in the requirements_bundles.txt

Answer 4

I was running Django on Google App Engine and encountered the same error.

I checked the source and found that the error occurred in a built-in python function.

I updated to Python 3.9 and the error was resolved.

I was originally using python 3.7.

I don't know if this helps, but FYI.

Upgrade your flake8. The newest versions do not hit this issue – @AmaJayJB

Adding to @Zach answer:

If you are using certain forks of Redash or even the official Redash, you need to pin its importlib-metadata to 4.13.0 in the requirements_bundles.txt.

If you are running on docker, don't forget to rebuild your docker containers.

docker-compose build 
docker-compose up -d
