Update

python package

https://github.com/g2nb/nbtools/tree/lab

pip version

pip 21.2.4

Python

python 3.9

I tried to reinstall the setuptools and jupyter_packaging , but it didn't solve the problem.

How to resolve this issue?

thanks

Answer 1

setuptools 61 moved setuptools.config.StaticModule to setuptools.config.expand.StaticModule (see #365 ). This bug was reported to the jupyter-packaging developers in #130 and fixed in #131 which was first included in jupyter-packaging 0.12. So either downgrading to setuptools 60 or upgrading to jupyter-packaging 0.12 should fix your issue.
