Seems you distro has quite old OWS lib.

[alexbruy]

@tomkralidis may I ask you to look at this? It would be nice to get it addressed before 3.24.

[tomkralidis]

What version of owslib is on your install? Can you test from the QGIS Python console with:

>>> import owslib
>>> owslib.__version__

[DelazJ]

0.19.1

[tomkralidis]

OWSLib 0.25 or higher is required for the new OGC API - Records functionality. Should I put a try/except test on the OWSLib version?

[DelazJ]

I think it was the idea, reading #44812 (comment)

[alexbruy]

I'd say better to include a fallback code path to avoid errors like this one on platforms where older OWSLib installed.

[gioman]

This is now in 3.24.0

#47444

[UtaVile]

Still getting this error after a fresh install and each time the software opens.
I'm using QGIS 3.24.0 and Ubuntu 20.04.4 lts

Everything is working so far tho and I'm not sure I would even use the OGC records API features.

Thanks for continually and consistently producing some of the best GIS software out there!

Same here, had to sudo pip install --upgrade owslib to get rid of the error, which hopefully won't break anything elsewhere.

[tomkralidis]

PR in #47540

[jkariscodes]

Same here, had to sudo pip install --upgrade owslib to get rid of the error, which hopefully won't break anything elsewhere.

This worked out for me. I however did not use sudo.

Quickfix for homebrew users on MacOS

A quickfix for people who installed qgis using homebrew. From the terminal, type
/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade owslib

For me it took a while before I found the python 3.9.5 executable location... hope it helps.

This also works for the standard MacOS install of QGIS

Thanks for the help, problem is fixed.
