AttributeError: module 'pypandoc' has no attribute 'convert'

Question

I am trying to switch a python project over to poetry & pyproject.toml. Previously, we were using requirements.txt.

When I try to install pyspark 2.4.8 with poetry, however, I hit this error:

File "<string>", line 156, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'pypandoc' has no attribute 'convert'
[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

Has anyone run into this? Do you know why this is an issue with poetry but not with requirements.txt?

Share your requirements.txt file and toml file – Aelius Dec 13 '22 at 16:19 — Aelius, Dec 13 '22 at 16:19

it seems you need to downgrade it since 'convert' was removed in the 1.8 version. https://github.com/man-group/pytest-plugins/issues/87

I solved this problem with:

pip install pypandoc==1.5

`pip install 'pypandoc<1.8'` was sufficient for me given the answer of @sango – Jack Valmadre May 11 '23 at 04:47
