PackageNotFoundError No package metadata was found for <myproject>

[Airwave1981]

Dear everyone,

I have an existing project with the importlib included for version capturing.

Unfortunately I cannot come over following error:

importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for myproject

in line:
return importlib.metadata.version(__package__)

import is via: import importlib.metadata

installed via pip install importlib.metadata:

so... pip show importlib.metadata says:

Name: importlib-metadata
Version: 6.8.0

Anyone has an idear whats wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

After additional research it was just an only the following command, that helped:

pip install -e . If someone has the same issue (the current project wasn't installed)
