Pipenvでpkg_resources.VersionConflictが出た。

動作環境

• WSL Ubuntu 18.04
• pipenv 2020.6.2
• python 3.7.4

起きたこと

pipenv installしたときにパッケージのインストールはできるもののPipfile.lockが更新されなくなった。

(project) user@LAPTOP:~/project$ pipenv update
Running $ pipenv lock then $ pipenv sync.

原因と解決策

pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (importlib-metadata 2.0.0 (/home/user/project/.venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse('importlib-metadata<2,>=0.12; python_version < "3.8"'))

importlib-metadata 2.0.0が悪さしているらしい事がわかる。importlib-metadata<2,>=0.12らしいので、バージョンを下げてインストールしなおせば良さそう。

ということで、今あるimportlib-metadata 2.0.0をアンインストールして、importlib-metadata 1.7.0をインストールしました。

(project) user@LAPTOP:~/project$ pipenv uninstall importlib-metadata

pipで同じくpkg_resources.VersionConflictが起きてしまった方がいたので、そちら方を参考にしました。
