Exception on metadata.version()

[Lois31]

Hello Team,

I am having problems with two modules: jira (v2.0.0) and jsonschema (v3.2.0).
In both cases, an exception is thrown in the init.py file on the following instructions:

jsonschema

__version__ = metadata.version("jsonschema")

jira

_v = VersionInfo('jira').semantic_version()
__version__ = _v.release_string()
version_info = _v.version_tuple()

I use Python v3.8.3

PR #817 is for jira issue
for now you can use --includes=cffi
python setup.py build_exe --includes=cffi

[marcelotduarte]

For me jsonschema do not throw exception. Can you put a traceback?

[marcelotduarte]

cx_Freeze 6.4.2 has just been released.
Can you check if this has been resolved?

Sorry for the latency ...

I will test with the latest version of cx_Freeze

[marcelotduarte]

@Lois31 Please test with the lasted version, 6.4.2, because this can be the error on imporlib.metadata

[Lois31]

It's works with cx_Freeze 6.4.2.

I will test with the Jira module.

[Lois31]

It also works with the Jira module.

cx_Freeze 6.5 has just been released.
