note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace

Your maturin version (maturin --version)

Your Python version (python -V)

Python 3.9.18

Your pip version (pip -V)

pip 23.2.1

What bindings you're using

pyo3

Does cargo build work?

• Yes, it works

If on windows, have you checked that you aren't accidentally using unix path (those with the forward slash /)?

• Yes

How did you install that python 3.9.18?

[piper-of-dawn]

I installed python 3.9.18 with:
conda create --name py39 python=3.9

However, I encountered the same issue when I changed to other versions of Python. I think it occurred because, I created a virtual environment in my project directory, and installed Maturin there.

I rm rf ed the virtual environment and now maturin list-python magically works as expected.

Thanks anyway :)
