Python: ImportError: No module named _pluggy

Question

I am getting ImportError: No module named _pluggy error when running tests using pytest.

Then I tried installing pluggy using pip install pluggy. It installs pluggy==0.6.0 successfully, but is still giving the error.

Versions List (From running pip freeze | grep pytest)

Shown below is the stack trace

Tests run successfully when run in a virtualenv. What are the possible causes which can cause this error in a non-virtualenv environment?

https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2960 mentions that particular error - is that any help? — bouteillebleu, Dec 19 '17 at 10:21
@bouteillebleu Awesome. Upgrading pytest-metadata solved the issue. Thanks — Pubudu Dodangoda, Dec 19 '17 at 10:25

As it was pointed out by @bouteillebleu the issue was in pytest-metadata package.

The solution was to upgrade the package

pip install --upgrade pytest-metadata
