Do any of the solutions discussed in https://github.com/openai/gym/issues/3202 solve the issue?

Do none of the solutions discussed in #3202 solve the issue?

No, absolutely none of them. I am stuck at the moment

Have you resolved this issue?

Can confirm this issue now comes on-top to the setuptools originated problem with packaing, see #3202, and seems like wheel also requires correct versioning strings, now. Accordingly, in contrast to the issue author, downgrading to "wheel<0.40.0" solves it - as a workaround. However, with further dependencies upgrading to packaging, the issue will recursively be re-introduced with a chain of "outdated" packages.

@pseudo-rnd-thoughts since I know how deeply you are involved into propelling RL into the broad community, I would like to give the feedback that this issue at hand is currently a show-stopper for amateur Pythoniasts. I still suggest to manually creating a post-release that fixes the issue and pushes to PyPI an updated v0.21.0. That will probably reduce the effort on both sides.

[pseudo-rnd-thoughts]

@Pythoniasm Thanks for the update that makes sense. Sadly this is an OpenAI issue, they control PyPI, and we the volunteers have no access to make new uploads. I will see if there is anything we can do

Edit: The person at OpenAI who was replying to our emails is no longer doing so. Furthermore, this is the cost of old, unmaintained software. We would recommend updating to gym >=0.21, we provide a migration guide - https://gymnasium.farama.org/content/migration-guide/

updating to gym ==0.22.0, the issue is addressed.

Contributor Great! Following your suggestion. I updating to gym ==0.22.0, the issue is addressed.

Downgrade both wheel and setuptools with pip install wheel==0.38.4 setuptools==66.0.0
