The dict interface from "importlib_metadata" is deprecated, so it must not be used as well.
I just have one question: where can I change the minimal required version of |

That way, the deprecated feature removed won't be harmful.

TypeError: select() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
The above is the error from the CI jobs. It looks like you can't pass entry_point
as a positional argument. You will need to explicitly pass it as a keyword argument instead.

Thanks @rahulporuri for your help. Now let's see if it worked. |
the select interface was introduced in 3.6.0. ref https://importlib-metadata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/history.html#v3-6-0
this is because the select interface isn't available in any of the prior python versions

Unfortunately, this code fails on newer Python versions, where import importlib.metadata as importlib_metadata
is used: the return value from entry_points()
is then a plain dict, which doesn't have a select
method.

I've opened #998 to track this. It might also be good to see if we can get the CI tests running on Python 3.9, so that this sort of failure is detected earlier.
Fixes #952. It removes a deprecated feature from importlib_metadata. See the reference here: https://importlib-metadata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/history.html#v3-9-0.
