Hi Community! I tried to 
pip install -U flytekit
but got the error below:
Copy code
root@8c31a56d6646:/# pyflyte
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pyflyte", line 5, in <module>
    from flytekit.clis.sdk_in_container.pyflyte import main

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/flytekit/__init__.py", line 299, in load_implicit_plugins
    discovered_plugins = entry_points(group="flytekit.plugins")
TypeError: entry_points() got an unexpected keyword argument 'group'
Does anyone can help to debug?
p
i recall an old conversation where someone was having troubles on python 3.8. dunno if that's what is happening here but you might want to try >3.9
h
What if we cannot change the version?
p
i just installed flytekit on python 3.8.18 and things work in my limited testing (
pyflyte info
), so if you're getting the error with a simple command i don't think it's related to py version
h
Gotcha
@thankful-minister-83577 DO you have a clue Yee?
t
what version of python are you using?
oh 3.8
ummm… that’s not a flyte thing. that’s in import_lib
can you give me the precise version of python?
python --version
h
3.8.10
Thanks for the help!
t
i can’t find that exact one
Copy code
$ docker run -ti python:3.8-slim-buster bash

could you check your version of 
importlib_metadata
?
Copy code
pip show importlib_metadata
h
Name: importlib-metadata Version: 1.5.0
pip install -U importlib_metadata
then the pyflyte works!
Do we have a minimum required version for the importlib_metadata?
t
yeah… i think it used to be there too.
but i think we removed it for some reason.
also it’s not used 3.10 and later
h
I suggest we should add that in the lock requirement
t
unf we don’t have per python version requirements. i think this can be added to the pyproject toml file, but not sure how.
if either of you know, would you mind putting in a PR?
f
@helpful-van-10149 I think if you propose a PR - i think you can by limiting it to python 3.8 https://github.com/flyteorg/flytekit/blob/e3f92cf748c7852164881bc566481dfe5b3d3e40/pyproject.toml#L12-L13
