GTKUI logs error when enabling plugin.

[mhertz]

In latest python-setuptools 1.57 there's a metadata change causing the description being added to actual payload of generated PKG-INFO and not as header-field like previously. The metadata-spec states it CAN do this, but always does in my tests when using this version. Whenever enabling a plugin, then will show an error in log/terminal about 'None' not supported as first argument, as now is in payload and not in a 'Description' header field anymore, and per spec returns None in that case. I guess can be changed to check for this circumstance, but I quickly just changed line 1147 in deluge/ui/gtk3/preferences.py from: '

self.builder.get_object('label_plugin_details').set_text(
            plugin_info['Description']
        )

Into instead:

 self.builder.get_object('label_plugin_details').set_text(
            plugin_info['Summary']
        )

Which works for old and new PKG-INFO generated files.

Here's two examples of generated AutoAdd.egg-info/PKG-INFO files from unmodified deluge git clone and built with 'python setup.py bdist_egg', first with latest python-setuptools 1.57, and next with previous python-setuptools 1.56.2(both python3, as on arch, python means python3, and btw using latest python 3.9.5 also):

Some links to get further details on the issue:

​https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/core-metadata/#description

Changed in version 2.1: This field may be specified in the message body instead.

Alternatively, the distribution’s description may instead be provided in the message body (i.e., after a completely blank line following the headers, with no indentation or other special formatting necessary).

Thanks for reporting!

This needing fixing when parsing the metadata in the Pluginmanagerbase so that all UIs would not encounter this error.

Fixed in [2351d658449] and [c3cd7f5e5cd1]
