confuse dependency requirement permits invalid versions

[billyjanitsch]

Problem

Beets declares a dependency on confuse>=1.0.0:

beets/setup.py

Line 92 in e3f4e19

'confuse>=1.0.0',

But it uses confuse.Optional, which was only added in confuse@1.5.0:

beets/beetsplug/fetchart.py

Line 984 in 3b53181

confuse.Optional(str)

This causes beets to crash if you happen to have an earlier version of confuse installed, e.g., 1.4.0:

AttributeError: module 'confuse' has no attribute 'Optional'

I assume the fix is to increase the dependency requirement to confuse>=1.5.0.

Setup

• OS: macOS 12.0.1
• Python version: 3.9.9
• beets version: 1.6.0
• Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no):

My configuration (output of beet config) is:

n/a

Thanks! I had not noticed we had started using more recent Confuse features. I'll change the dependency now. ✨

I just ran into this problem as well, I looked into https://github.com/beetbox/beets/blob/master/setup.py yet the requirements is properly specified.

beets v 1.6.9.
python 3.11.1

I solved it by installing the right confuse version pip install --force-reinstall -v "confuse==1.5.0"
