Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully

Description of the bug

I was trying to install PyMuPDF 1.23.26 in a Python 3.12 (Alpine 3.19) container, and when I built the container pip throw me this error Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully

How to reproduce the bug

Dockerfile

FROM python:3.12-alpine AS build-env

# set environment varibles
ENV LANG=es_CO.UTF-8
ENV LC_ALL=es_CO.UTF-8
ENV LC_CTYPE=es_CO.UTF8
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
ENV PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

RUN apk add --no-cache tzdata
ENV TZ America/Bogota


RUN apk --update --no-cache add \
    build-base \
    postgresql \
    postgresql-dev \
    libpq \
    jpeg-dev \
    zlib-dev \
    libffi-dev

ARG requirements

COPY ./requirements /tmp/requirements

RUN pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r /tmp/requirements/develop.txt  

---

We've encountered the same issue and reported it pretty much at the same time 🙂. Here's the underlying reason for the build failure: #3279 (comment)

[julian-smith-artifex-com]

Thanks to @apyrgio for the reference. I'll mark this as fixed in next release.

[julian-smith-artifex-com]

Fixed in 1.24.0.

Hello @julian-smith-artifex-com, i'm actually using the 1.24.5, and i still have this problem.
I use python:3.12-alpine.
I'm currently blocked at this line :

=> => #   Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml): started

You can try with this command :

docker run -it python:3.12-alpine pip install pymupdf==1.24.5

[julian-smith-artifex-com]

Please attach the full output.

[av1m]

docker run -it python:3.12-alpine pip install pymupdf==1.24.5
