WARNING: isort 5.12.0 does not provide the extra....

[kad99kev]

Hello!

I apologise if this issue was already raised, I couldn't find anything on this topic so I decided to raise one myself.

Whenever I try to install the extras - pipfile_deprecated_finder and requirements_deprecated_finder, I get an warning saying:

WARNING: isort 5.12.0 does not provide the extra 'pipfile_deprecated_finder'
WARNING: isort 5.12.0 does not provide the extra 'requirements_deprecated_finder'

This doesn't stop installation, however, I get this error later:

pkg_resources.UnknownExtra: isort 5.12.0 has no such extra feature 'pipfile_deprecated_finder'

Can you please advice on why this might be happening? Thanks!

System info:

• Windows platform
• Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS on WSL 2
• Miniconda3

Hello @kad99kev, these in fact were removed from latest versions. pyproject.toml has become basically the new standard for python dependencies so removal for a decision to make isort maintenance simpler. I see there is still some references on the readme, so I will make sure it is cleaned up. Thanks for alerting.

Thanks for this @staticdev!

I am assuming, if there is another library that tries to install it via isort[requirements_deprecated_finder,pipfile_deprecated_finder], then pkg_resources would raise an issue? So the advice would be to simple do pip install isort?

Thanks once again!

Exactly! pip install isort or if you use poetry poetry add isort

@kad99kev I would even recommend to replace the files MANIFEST.in, requirements.txt, setup.cfg and setup.py in this project with pyproject.toml as recommended by PEP 517 and 518. This was done in isort project in 2019.
