No module named 'keyring.backends.OS_X' after upgrade to 22

[gothicVI]

When updating keyring from version 21.8.0 to 22.0.0, using pip version 21.0 on Linux, I get:

ERROR: Error initializing plugin EntryPoint(name='macOS', value='keyring.backends.OS_X', group='keyring.backends').

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Similar troubles while executing pip list -o with pip 21.0 and keyring 22.0.0 (running Python 3.8.7 on macOS 22.0.0).

I think that this error is caused by commit 4aed205.

My traceback for pip list -o is:

ERROR: Error initializing plugin EntryPoint(name='macOS', value='keyring.backends.OS_X', group='keyring.backends').

repeated several times.

Thank you.

@JD-Veiga I'm seeing similar errors now as well whenever I call pip list --outdated or update other packages.

The error you report indicates that there is a mismatch between metadata and the version installed (you have keyring metadata from keyring<22 with an install of keyring==22).

Furthermore, the error that's reported is logged to the screen but doesn't block the execution.

My recommendation is that you ponder further what actions could have led to the metadata mismatch. Do you have legacy metadata lingering in the environment? How did it get there?

[gothicVI]

@jaraco thanks for your reply.

Do you have legacy metadata lingering in the environment?

How could I check for that?

How did it get there?

I've no idea. I exclusively update packages via pip with the --user flag. Could it be some system package?
I've seen this issue now on two different machines. One running Linux mint, the other one running Ubuntu.

[JD-Veiga]

Solved!

I have been upgrading keyring from one version to next one via pip.

For whatever reason, several versions of keyring metadata --corresponding to successive keyring versions-- have been kept in site-packages folder.

So the solution in my case was to uninstall all using sudo -H pip uninstall keyring several times until getting a WARNING: Skipping keyring as it is not installed. and re-install keyring again.

Maybe it is caused by the way I use pip (combined with macports).

At least in my case, this is no bug in keyring but in the way it was upgraded in my system.

Thank you, @jaraco for your help.

[jaraco]

How could I check for that?

Good question. You could manually scan the directories in sys.path or you could use importlib.metadata (or importlib_metadata):

>>> import importlib.metadata
>>> [dist._path for dist in importlib.metadata.distributions() if dist.metadata['name'] == 'keyring']

I simulated a situation where two different versions were installed (22 over 21.8) using pip-run:

~ $ pip-run -q keyring==21.8.0 -- -m pip-run -q keyring==22.0.0 -- -c "import importlib.metadata, pprint; pprint.pprint([dist._path for dist in importlib.metadata.distributions() if dist.metadata['name'] == 'keyring'])"
[PosixPath('/var/folders/03/7l0ffypn50b83bp0bt07xcch00n8zm/T/pip-run-a3xvd267/keyring-22.0.0.dist-info'),
 PosixPath('/var/folders/03/7l0ffypn50b83bp0bt07xcch00n8zm/T/pip-run-1fdjsgfs/keyring-21.8.0.dist-info')]

[gothicVI]

@JD-Veiga that somewhat gave some insight. It seems that I have the package python3-keyring installed which provides keyring 18.0.1. Somehow, upgrading up to version 21.8.0 went flawlessly but the upgrade to version 22 not.
Given that the former version is installed via the package manager I hesitate to remove it via sudo pip.

@jaraco your suggested check after uninstalling version 22 yields

[PosixPath('/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/keyring-18.0.1.egg-info')]

with it reinstalled - again triggering the original error message

[PosixPath('/home/sebastian/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/keyring-22.0.0.dist-info'), PosixPath('/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/keyring-18.0.1.egg-info')]

which confirms your suspicion.
Do you have an idea on how to get the system-wide version out of the path?

[jaraco]

@gothicVI, that's good information. Now that I consider your use-case more, I think you may have uncovered a weakness in importlib.metadata's handling of entry points. It probably should only expose the entry points of the first project of a given name.

Using the pip-run technique to simulate the multiply-installed versions, I see the error emitted:

I filed python/importlib_metadata#280 to capture the underlying weakness. In the meantime, your best bet will be to either ignore the error (it is in fact ignorable, as annoying as it is), or remove keyring from the system site-packages (with sudo apt uninstall python-keyring maybe?), or upgrade the version in system site packages.

I may consider making this module present in keyring 22 just to avoid these errors. Let me know how you fare with the recommendations above and how painful they are for your environment.

I'll follow that issue - thanks a lot!
I guess for the moment I'd downgrade keyring to version 21.8.0 until importlib.metadata takes care of the issue. Not upgrading it does not pose any issues at the moment. I guess it'll take some time until the first packages will have version 22 as a prerequisite.
EDIT: I was unaware that you're a contributor to importlib.metadata so my answer there is quite pointless ;)

I tested that commit with the repro and determined it works:

~ $ pip-run -q keyring==21.8.0 -- -m pip-run -q ~/m/keyring -- -m pip list -o
<no output>

I can confirm that version 22.0.1 no longer shows the issue. Thanks.
