ImportError in version 1.3.4+

[ThrawnCA]

Version 1.3.4 changed the import of importlib_metadata to importlib.metadata, which in turn updated the Python version requirement.

It should either include a fallback to importlib_metadata, or install the compatibility package importlib-metadata.

Hi @ThrawnCA , thank you for submitting an issue. There is going to be an major release tomorrow and I will make sure that an fix for the mentioned issue will be included there.

Can you please let me know on what Python version you are facing this issue so I can replicate it and fix appropriately?

Details are at https://runebook.dev/en/docs/python/library/importlib.metadata/importlib.metadata.packages_distributions

Despite what it says, we're encountering problems on Python 3.9.23. However, the same try...except fallback should work.

Hi @ThrawnCA , you're right simple try...except should work. I added tag 1.3.8 where the fix is present, so you can try it now.

Nevertheless, as I mentioned, release 2.0.0 will be out tomorrow, but if you cannot wait, use 1.3.8.

Hi @ThrawnCA , please let me know if the latest changes fixed your issue, so I can close this issue.
