ImportError: cannot import name '_adapters' from partially initializer module importlib_metadata' (most likely due to a circular import)

Question

I was updating my Pypi package using:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

Then, running:

python -m twine upload --https://github.com/ERijck/FuzzyTM https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*

Returned the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name '_adapters' from partially initialized module 'importlib_metadata' (most likely due to a circular import) (C:\Users\Emil\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\importlib_metadata\__init__.py)

Based on the error and on this link it seems that I have a circular import. How can I fix this?

The problem was not a circular input. Having an older version of importlib_metadata installed caused the issue.

pip install -U importlib_metadata solved it.
