unable to install daphne: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools.command.test'

[hassanthegeek]

setuptools have removed the command setuptools.command.test, which was deprecated in release 41.5.0 almost 5 years ago, but looks like daphne is still using it.

My Environment
I am using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS, and trying to install latest daphne 4.1.2 via poetry in my dockerized setup.

This issue caused by this update - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#v72-0-0

This is stack overflow comment about problem - https://stackoverflow.com/a/78806146

But I'm personally can't pin setuptools = "<72.0.0" in my pyproject.toml because of this

Incompatible constraints in requirements of PROJECT (0.1.0):
setuptools (==71.1.0)
setuptools (>=72.0.0,<73.0.0)

This doesn't reproduce for my using pip...

No need for more duplicate posts. Thanks.

Comments towards fixes welcome, but is it not the upstream autobahn issue that needs resolving?

[NonaryR]

Updating to setuptools==72.1.0 solved this
See comment about hot fix from setuptools repo

[sterliakov]

@carltongibson yes, that problem is on autobahn side, and daphne doesn't need any relevant changes - the build system here is already modern. This issue can be safely closed, I believe.

Autobahn also resolved the problem, but the updated version is not released yet (crossbario/autobahn-python#1644).

[carltongibson]

Thanks @sterliakov 🎁 — I'll leave it open for the moment, just for visibility.

[carltongibson]

I assume this have worked through now. Closing.
