The poetry script from a pip-installed package has a Requirement.parse with the wrong version

Question

The package version for our app is 0.3.19 in both setup.py and in pyproject.toml since we use poetry. Everything works for publishing - it is visible in artifactory and can be pip install'ed.

But then when running a script associated with it

[tool.poetry.scripts]
my_app = "my_app.my_app:main"

Then there is the error:

pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (hercl 0.3.19 (~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.12/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages)
, Requirement.parse('my_app==0.3.7'))

There is NO reference to 0.3.7 anywhere in any file in the root of this project. Only 0.3.19. So where is that coming from?

Answer 1

This turns out to be a corruption in the pyenv environments on my local machine. There were old versions of the my_app hanging around in the site_packages. I nuked pyenv, installed conda and created a virtualenv using conda and the app pip install's and works fine now
