AttributeError: module 'setuptools.dist' has no attribute 'pkg_resources'

Hello,

My environment:
MacOS 13.4.1 with Apple M1 chip
Python 3.8 and 3.9
Poetry 1.5.1
Pip 23.2
Setuptools 68.0.0

I would like to use mstrio-py on a Hadoop cluster running Python 3.8 or 3.9. Unfortunately, I have no control over the Python versions. Therefore, I tried to find out which is the latest possible mstrio-py version that supports Python3.8 (11.3.4.101) or Python3.9 (11.3.5.103).

I am using poetry for dependency management. Poetry uses pip in the background, and when installing mstrio-py I get the following error message (both in poetry, and when I run a plain pip install):

python3.8 -m pip install mstrio-py==11.3.4.101

With python3.9 the same error occurs.

I have already tried upgrading pip and setuptools with pip install --upgrade pip setuptools.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

@juliankeppel Those versions of mstrio-py require setuptools in version less than 67.0

[juliankeppel]

@mstrpr Thank you very much for this fast answer.

Putting setuptools = "<67.0" to my dependencies helped!

I now have another problem with very old pandas/numpy versions incompatible with the rest of the project, but that's noting directly related to mstrio.

So from my point of view we can close this issue.

[apiotrowskiMicroStrategy]

When "playing around" with setuptools, it is a known issue that numpy with "incorrect" version may fail, so try to meet versioning of those two based on for example date of release.

Either way, closing as "not mstrio-py related".
