Cannot install Frictionless with poetry or pip with setuptools>=58.0

Overview

Cannot install Frictionless with https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry -

docker run --rm python:3.9 bash -c "pip install poetry; poetry init -n; poetry add frictionless; poetry install"

this produces an error:

(...)
  • Installing simpleeval (0.9.10)
  • Installing stringcase (1.2.0)
  • Installing typer (0.4.0)
  • Installing validators (0.18.2)

  EnvCommandError

 (...) 
      error in simpleeval setup command: use_2to3 is invalid.

I get a similar error when installing with pip:

docker run --rm python:3.9 bash -c "pip install \"setuptools>=58.0\"; pip install frictionless"

It seems to be a result of a bug in simpleeval https://github.com/danthedeckie/simpleeval/issues/90

With frictionless 4.20.2, also using poetry I was getting a similar error:

from frictionless import Package, Resource
  File "../python3.9/site-packages/frictionless/__init__.py", line 35, in <module>
    from . import checks
  File "../python3.9/site-packages/frictionless/checks/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
    from .regulation import forbidden_value, sequential_value, row_constraint
  File "../python3.9/site-packages/frictionless/checks/regulation.py", line 1, in <module>
    import simpleeval
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'simpleeval'

This worked, in a pinch: poetry add reportbro-simpleeval

But rebuilding the virtualenv is a better solution:

poetry env remove python && poetry install

Just a heads up that some upgrades might not succeed cleanly.

This fix worked for me: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/4511
