pip install fails on Python 3.9 for version 3.17.0 (and also 3.15.0) on Debian 11

[ZonderP]

Works though on Python 3.7.
3.14.1 installation worked flawlessly on Python 3.7 (on Debian 10) and Python 3.9 (on Debian 11).

[gonchik]

Did you try install through link:
pipe install atlassian-python-api

[ZonderP]

Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention:
I use 'pip install atlassian-python-api'.
To overcome the issue I now use 'pip install atlassian-python-api==3.14.1'.

[gonchik]

@ZonderP Did you check on another env?
I can't reproduce it

[ZonderP]

@gonchik Thanks for looking into this issue.
Okay, I tried now on the Debian 11 machine with Python 3.9 in new virtual envs.
The first venv I created I did so using 'python3 -m venv .venv --system-site-packages' which is exactly what I did in the project where I have the reported issue. -> 'pip install atlassian-python-api' fails with the error described.
But: All went good when I created another venv on that machine via 'python3 -m venv .venv2'. -> 'pip install atlassian-python-api' worked without any issues in this case.
So most probably the issue has something to do with other packages which I pulled into my .venv using '--system-site-packages'.
I'm quite new to Linux, but in case you're still interested in what could be the reason for my issue, I'll try my best to help you if you can give me some hints what to inspect how.

[ZonderP]

Oh my! I've no clue what's going on...
I thought it might be a good idea to show you here the output of 'pip list' from '.venv' which is the virtual env I created for the testing in my previous comment - the one where 'pip install atlassian-python-api' failed.
Thus I switched backed from '.venv2' (which was the virtual env where atlassian-python-api installation worked) to '.venv'.
I did so via 'deactivate' while in '.venv2' and then did a 'source .venv/bin/activate'.
And just to be sure that I'm really in the virtual env where atlassian-python-api installation doesn't work, I called 'pip install atlassian-python-api' again (I expected to get the error again, for sure!) - But this time even in this virtual environment it worked without a problem...
I guess this might have something to do with the fact that I successfully could install atlassian-python-api 3.17.0 in '.venv2' before, but on the other hand I now completely lost trust in the usefulness of virtual environments.
I swear, I didn't to anything else in between the steps I described.
Forgive me, if I sound like a Linux novice - I am :-)

[gonchik]

@ZonderP is this actual ?

[ZonderP]

For me not anymore...
I use now 'pip install atlassian-python-api==3.14.1'.
Which solved the issue for me, because I don't need a newer version.
If no one else reported something similar and you aren't too much interested what went wrong, just close this issue.
It's fine for me. (I couldn't give any more details anyway)

[Spacetown]

@gonchik This is fixed by #934.

[gonchik]

Awesome! :)

[ZonderP]

Great, thanks @gonchik !
I can now also use latest version in my project with this fix applied.
