Remove support for installed .egg distributions when using the importlib.metadata backend

[sbidoul]

pip has dropped support for installing .egg distributions when it stopped invoking setup.py install.
At some point pip will abandon support for detecting and uninstalling legacy .egg distributions too.

If you reach this issue from the pip deprecation message, it is likely that your Python environment has distributions that have been installed with setup.py install, easy_install, or an older pip version.

The recommended action is to uninstall the distribution and reinstall it with a recent pip.

@hanivianka have you tried the recommended action mentioned in the top post of this page?

@sbidoul has pip 24.3 been released? im tired of seeing the bright message pop up on an otherwise dark screen

[sbidoul]

@tahayparker 24.3 is planned for October 2024.

It is important that affected users resolve the warning by applying the recommendation in the first post of this page.

Hello sir, could you please do me a favor? the picture below is the content of my file

I ran "python setup.py install", but after that there is something wrong. You can see it below:

What should I do? I would appreciate it for your kindness. Thank you anyway.

The problem is based on PIP updating. update to 23.3.2, rebuild the build.

first, delete the build and the dist plus the .egg.info folder.
rm -rf build dist *.egg.info

build build:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade build
python3 -m build

then, the twine:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade twine
python3 -m twine upload dist/*

any solution found? is it possible to use a previous version? so that it works... How can an update be inserted which compromises the development...
