importlib_resources has a conditional (3.6 only) dep on importlib_metadata, but without importlib_metadata it does not work even on 3.7: Python 3.7.7 (default, May 4 2020, 10:36:02) [GCC 9.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import importlib_resources Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/importlib_resources/_compat.py", line 39, in <module> from importlib import metadata ImportError: cannot import name 'metadata' from 'importlib' (/usr/lib/python3.7/importlib/__init__.py) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/importlib_resources/__init__.py", line 5, in <module> from ._compat import metadata File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/importlib_resources/_compat.py", line 41, in <module> import importlib_metadata as metadata # type: ignore ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'importlib_metadata'
I will not work on this package anymore. sbraz@g.o added himself and python@ as maintainers, so having myself and proxy-maint@ left there to "catch" bug reports does not make sense to me.
