This is so weird. I've backports.zoneinfo listed in my #Python #pip requirements file, and it installed it just fine. Yet, I got errors (from #APScheduler) saying that I don't have it installed, despite being in the right environment/using the same interpreter and whatnot.
I investigated further and deduced that it's probably bcos for some reason... the module is listed/found on the system (container) as backports-zoneinfo instead, not backports.zoneinfo - hence, the pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound error. For one, idek how this is happening cos I've another container that should be (for the most/relevant part at least) identical with the same requirements.txt file, environment and everything, and yet I've encountered no issues there and pkg_resources did find it as backports.zoneinfo (not with hyphen).
This is actually so freaking weird and wasting my time, big time.

edit:
As mentioned, this package should be identical in both containers (same version, same install location/method etc.) - even their names are identical in pip freeze, it's only when investigating with pkg_resources I've found where their names are different (again, no idea how this is the case - they're the same containers for the most part).
Noticing another difference tho between them:
the not ok container:
(venv) /base # ls -l /venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/backports.zoneinfo-*.dist-info
ls: /venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/backports.zoneinfo-*.dist-info: No such file or directorythe ok container:
(venv) /base # ls -l /venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/backports.zoneinfo-*.dist-info

edit:
oh nvm, it's not missing on the not ok container - just, affected by the somehow different name for wtv reason.
