maestral gui - error - entry_points() got an unexpected keyword argument 'group'

[ryuuzaki42]

First of all, thanks for the great application.
Obs.: maestral and maestral_qt runs OK.
Maybe the error is only in my system.

Expected behaviour

Expected gui to open

System:

• Maestral version: 1.6.4

• Python version: 3.9.15

• OS: Slackware 15.0 64 bits

• Desktop environment: KDE Plasma 5.23.5

• PyQt version (for Linux GUI): 6.4.0

  $ bin/python3 -c "from PyQt6.QtCore import QT_VERSION_STR; print(QT_VERSION_STR)"
  6.4.0

Additional context

Looks like some importlib_metadata.entry_points or importlib.metadata.entry_points error, but I couldn't find how to solve.
python/importlib_metadata#331

Have a nice day!

to samscott: Your app is great for me. Thanks. I use Linuxmint 20.3 Cinnamon.
Meanwhile I installed the new update and got the same error, as noted by ryuuzaki42, when using the gui. I rolled back to 1.6.3
Greetings from Germany/Hamelin

[samschott]

Thanks for the detailed report! It appears that the groups parameter to entry_points() is only supported from Python 3.10 and upwards. I'll need to fix that.

@samschott: Thank you for the new update 1.6.5. Everything runs fine for me.
