Problem Installing Celery==5.2.0 Due to Invalid Metadata

JerryHamm commented 3 months ago

Description

I encountered an issue while trying to install celery==5.2.0 in my Docker build process. The installation fails due to invalid metadata in the specified version of Celery. The error message indicates that the metadata has an unexpected character which prevents the installation from proceeding.

Expected behavior

Celery version 5.2.0 should install without any errors.

pip version

24.1

Python version

3.10.12

OS

Linux

How to Reproduce

Make sure pip version is 24.1
pip install celery==5.2.0

Output

$ pip install celery==5.2.0

sudo pip install celery=5.2.0 seems to solve the issue though

notatallshaw commented 3 months ago

sudo pip is probably using an older version of pip, try sudo pip -V and see what is says.

This package's requirement metadata is not valid, and no longer works with pip 24.1+, if you require that older package you will need to use pip 24.0.

JerryHamm commented 3 months ago

Yes you are right sudo pip was using 22.0.2 .

I have already reverted pip to 24.0 and it works perfectly. Thanks for you assistance!

Another option is to upgrade to Celery 5.2.1+ since this issue was fixed in: https://github.com/celery/celery/pull/7074 https://github.com/celery/celery/commit/011dc063719c7bce9c105a8e86095a0ccbf7cb1e
