Can't build some AUR packages

[donald]

When I try to update (or remove and then install) ‘thonny’ I get-

ERROR Missing dependencies:
setuptools>=40.8.0
jaraco.text → inflect → pydantic>=1.9.1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

>pacman -Qi python-setuptools

returns

Version : 1:65.6.3-1

similarly

> pacman -Qi python-pydantic

returns

Version : 1.10.4-1

however in python

>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution("pydantic").version

returns

‘1.8.2’

How can I fix this so python returns the correct version and allows build to continue?

@donald

> pacman -Qi python-pydantic

returns

Version : 1.10.4-1

This is the version from the repo package.

@donald

however in python

>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution("pydantic").version

returns

‘1.8.2’

This could be the one you installed manually through pip, you can verify this through:
$ pip show pydantic
uninstall the pip version and you should be good to go.

Thank you
I didn’t realise I had this installed manually.
I thought I had only installed python packages with pip in a virtual env.
