reopen 1146433 found 1146433 python-cliff/4.16.0-3 thanks
Hi! Sorry to reopen this, but unfortunately the fix applied in the package is not right :(. Catching MetadataNotFound is only available in Python 3.15+, so now this breaks for packages using Python 3.14. The patch that was merged upstream is correct [1]. I've applied it in the sandbox to verify that packages that depend on python-cliff can build successfully, and it does indeed work. Happy hacking, [1]: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cliff/+/1003514 -- "Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?" -- Sun Tzu Saludos /\/\ /\ >< `/
Description: Gracefully handle metadata packages_distributions . In Python 3.15, importlib.metadata.packages_distributions() raises MetadataNotFound if any distribution directory on sys.path has missing or incomplete metadata. . This patch gracefully handle metadata errors in packages_distributions.
