get_installed_distribution has gone from module pip

[erdnaxeli]

• Pip version: 10.0.0b2
• Python version: 3.6.4
• Operating system: Ubuntu 14.04

Description:

The method get_installed_distribution is not imported in the pip module anymore.

What I've run:

Same with pip.req:

AttributeError: module 'pip' has no attribute 'req'

[pfmoore]

Correct. The use of pip as a module was never been supported, and the internal APIs have been reorganised in pip 10. See the announcement from last October for details: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2017-October/031642.html

Sadness.

This breaks zappa.

This breaks a ton of crap, Napalm included. So very dumb. 👎 Boooooo0!

So how do I work around this? I'm trying to use Databricks operator in Airflow and this blows in my face.

[pradyunsg]

Change it to use pkg_resources.WorkingSet?
