Encountered nasty error message attempting to run `funnel load` in virtualenv...

[anoduck]

Description

Caught this nasty error while attempting to execute jobfunnel inside of a virtual env.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone my repo (don't judge my code, it is scrapy): git clone https://github.com/anoduck/jobfunnel
2. Switch to dev branch: git checkout dev
3. Setup project with either poetry or pipenv (both resulted in the same output)
4. IFF poetry is chosen execute the following code for poetry to load deps from requirements: for item in $(cat requirements.txt); do poetry add "${item}"; done . Else, IFF pipenv, a simple pipenv install should do it.
5. Initialize the virtualenv with: ("pipenv" or "poetry") shell
6. Install jobfunnel with python setup.py install
7. Attempt to execute jobfunnel: /path/to/funnel/bin/funnel load -s my_settings.yml

Expected behavior

Previously, I was able to execute jobfunnel because it was installed as a regular user with python 3.10. Since, python has been updated to 3.11, and python-3.11 does not recognize jobfunnel as being installed. I expected the same configuration, but due to pep 668, this is no longer available without passing an uncomforting "--break-system-packages" flag.

Actual behavior

Jobfunnel now dumps nasty error message when attempted to be run from within a virtual env. The message is as follows.

For poetry:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Environment

• Build: Latest pulled from Repository, then branched to "dev" to maintain pristine-ness of main branch.
• Operating system and version: Kali Linux Rolling Release == Debian unstable
• [Linux] Desktop Environment and/or Window Manager: LXDE

[anoduck]

Embarrassingly, the error arose from conflicting libraries in a localized python environment, thus not reproducible, and since has been resolved.
