I have tried versions back to 4.1.0. The previous version, 4.0.1 fails because it doesn't support KDF

I have tried taking this to the minimal and it still fails

This looks like your installation is somehow corrupted where you have two different versions of bcrypt installed. I suggest deleting your virtualenv and reinstalling.

Thanks @alex

I have blown away the venv and reinstalled completely and I am still getting the same error.

This is the bcrypt.dict

I will create a completely fresh poetry project with just bcrypt and see if that has the same issue

Okay - @alex is right - a completely clean project with just bcrypt works (as expected). Closing this issue down and throwing my computer out the window.
