In Twine, TypeError: entry_points() got an unexpected keyword argument 'group'

[jaraco]

I am not sure if this is relevant here, I get this error, "TypeError: entry_points() got an unexpected keyword argument 'group'"
for twine upload dict*/ . Is it still an issue or is there a solution now?

Hi @vishwesh-vishwesh, the error message you're reporting seems to indicate that twine is calling importlib_metadata.entry_points or maybe importlib.metadata.entry_points with a group= parameter, but the version of entry_points doesn't yet support that parameter. That almost certainly means you have a broken install of twine, as twine does declare the proper versions of importlib_metadata to implement the calls it makes. Perhaps after installing twine, you later installed something else that invalidated twine's install? In any case, upgrading pip and then reinstalling twine should fix your issue. If it doesn't, feel free to file an issue with twine (and feel free to tag me on it) and describe the conditions that lead to the error such that someone could replicate the issue. There are no known issues with the importlib_metadata implementations. Happy debugging.

As an FYI, with 4.11.2 this same issue with twine:3.8.0 came up for me. I pinned the version to 4.8.0 and it worked fine.
