…ools, so migrated to using packaging.version.Version.

keskival · 2021-12-14T13:34:49Z

As per PEP-632 migration advice, distutils.version should migrate to using packaging.version instead:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0632/#migration-advice

keskival · 2021-12-14T13:38:12Z

distutils.version is also still used in several other places in testing tools and build utilities:

# find . -name "*.py" | xargs grep distutils\.version
./test/run_test.py:        if distutils.version.LooseVersion(torch.version.cuda) >= "11.5":
./test/test_sparse.py:from distutils.version import LooseVersion
./test/test_spectral_ops.py:LooseVersion = distutils.version.LooseVersion
./torch/testing/_internal/common_methods_invocations.py:                                    active_if=TEST_SCIPY and distutils.version.LooseVersion(scipy.__version__) < "1.4.0"),
./torch/testing/_internal/common_methods_invocations.py:                                    active_if=TEST_SCIPY and distutils.version.LooseVersion(scipy.__version__) < "1.4.0"),
./torch/testing/_internal/common_methods_invocations.py:                                    active_if=TEST_SCIPY and distutils.version.LooseVersion(scipy.__version__) < "1.4.0"),
./torch/testing/_internal/common_cuda.py:CUDA11OrLater = torch.version.cuda and distutils.version.LooseVersion(torch.version.cuda) >= "11.0"
./tools/setup_helpers/cmake.py:        if cmake3 is not None and CMake._get_version(cmake3) >= distutils.version.LooseVersion("3.10.0"):
./tools/setup_helpers/cmake.py:        elif cmake is not None and CMake._get_version(cmake) >= distutils.version.LooseVersion("3.10.0"):
./tools/setup_helpers/cmake.py:                return distutils.version.LooseVersion(line.strip().split(' ')[2])

These are outside the scope of the pull request, which only fixes the immediate problem of inability to import TensorBoard.

keskival · 2021-12-14T14:13:53Z

Apparently there's an alternative pull request for this same bug here: #69823

malfet · 2021-12-14T17:21:30Z

#69904 should fix the immediate fallback of setuptools update.
As I've already mentioned in #69823 it would be good to have a more detailed comparison of packaging.Version vs distuitls.version.LooseVersion (as former more closely resembles distutils.version.StrictVersion, isn't it?)

Also, version is not removed from setuptool, it simply no-longer accidentally re-imported. Proper way to import it always been from distutils.version import LooseVersion, not sure what started from setuptools import distutils; distuils.version.LooseVersion anti-pattern

setuptools 59.6.0 exposed a bug in pytorch, where pytorch is improperly importing a particular submodule of distutils. In old setuptools, distutils.version was automatically imported, but in new setuptools, it is not. For details, see: pytorch/pytorch#69894 Since forcing users to upgrade pytorch is not feasible, we intervene by enforcing that distutils.version is imported before we try to import the problematic torch.utils.tensorboard submodule. This workaround will not help users who import torch.utils.tensorboard directly, but it will protect users who only import torch.utils.tensorboard because of us.

See pytorch/pytorch#69894

Since #69904 has been merged, this issue can be closed.

See <pytorch/pytorch#69894> for why, this should be reverted as soon as this PR lands in a pytorch release.
