We already have below function:

Zappa/zappa/utilities.py

Line 45 in 39f75e7

def copytree(src, dst, metadata=True, symlinks=False, ignore=None):

Replacing the distutils usage with copytree in utilities.py should solve the problem.

Let me know if doing so is sufficient or not?

Following

I temporarilly forced the previous version of setup-tools and it worked

[carlos-schwabe]

To which version of setup-tools did you revert to?

[RicardoNeto]

setuptools==74.1.2

@carlos-schwabe

[shikarkhane]

For anyone else who is using Github actions to deploy and using pipenv, you will have tough time fixing the setuptools version because #pipenv takes the latest.

So you will have update the virtualenv after install like
pipenv install -r requirements.txt --python 3.8
pipenv run pip install setuptools==74.1.2

[carlos-schwabe]

@RicardoNeto Even that wouldn't work for me sadly.
I had to make a little tweak to the workflow file to make it work properly.

For reference and if anyone else is experiencing issues with GitHub Actions:
- name: Create virtual env with Python3.8 run: | pip install virtualenv python3.8 -m virtualenv env - name: Install Requirements run: | . env/bin/activate python -m pip install --upgrade pip pip install -r requirements.txt pip install setuptools==69.5.1 deactivate - name: Install Zappa run: | . env/bin/activate pip install zappa deactivate - name: Update application using zappa run: | . env/bin/activate zappa update prod deactivate

A bit concerning that this PR is still sitting in a review state. Every one of my personal and work-related GitHub Actions deployment scripts using Zappa are failing because of this bug.

I started seeing this issue today with my zappa deploy to aws lambda.
I have not updated/changed my pyproject.toml or poetry.lock file for last couple of months. Yet this error occurred with latest deploy attempt.

Whats the remedy here?
My poetry.lock says
[package.extras] test = ["pytest (>=6.0.0)", "setuptools (>=65)"]

[ikkshvaku]

iam facing this issue too.
when is the fix expected? I already see PR ready for review. Will this be merged soon ?
or any other workaround for zappa users plz? thx

[ikkshvaku]

do zappa follow this sequence?

https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/v75.1.0/_distutils_hack/__init__.py#L16-L23

    warnings.warn(
        "Distutils was imported before Setuptools, but importing Setuptools "
        "also replaces the `distutils` module in `sys.modules`. This may lead "
        "to undesirable behaviors or errors. To avoid these issues, avoid "
        "using distutils directly, ensure that setuptools is installed in the "
        "traditional way (e.g. not an editable install), and/or make sure "
        "that setuptools is always imported before distutils."
    )

I see that setuptools TOT still has modified.py at setuptools_distutils
Why do we still see the issue in discussion?

[ejjick]

Got it to work with the change proposed in the PR

71d834a

[ikkshvaku]

My zappa deploy is triggered from Docker CI/CD
How can I apply this fix proposed in PR in such case?

[jturan]

For the poetry users, I was able to fix this by pinning an older version of setuptools, similar to the other responses above:

poetry add [email protected]

[anthonyhashemi]

Looks like this has been fixed on main with the merging of #1352

When can we expect a release including the fix?

[psunny28]

@anthonyhashemi

#1355

I was able to solve my issue with this PR

[keeganwhite]

For anyone else who is using Github actions to deploy and using pipenv, you will have tough time fixing the setuptools version because #pipenv takes the latest.

So you will have update the virtualenv after install like pipenv install -r requirements.txt --python 3.8 pipenv run pip install setuptools==74.1.2

this worked for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
