SIP version 5.0.0 released (Python 3 only)

[astrogerard]

On Python 3.7.3 there is an issue with importlib metadata. SIP will not start due to the absence of importlib (with metadata) and/or importlib_metadata.
I couldn't find an apt package to install the required lib.

I had to downgrade the version of cheroot to 8.6.0 so it will run under Python 3.7.3.
It seems to be working now.

Hi Dan,

Tried again but unfortunately it gives another blocking error.

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sip.py", line 331, in <module>
    app.run()
  File "sip.py", line 250, in run
    return web.httpserver.runsimple(func, (ip, port))
  File "/home/sip/SIP/web/httpserver.py", line 167, in runsimple
    server = WSGIServer(server_address, func)
  File "/home/sip/SIP/web/httpserver.py", line 188, in WSGIServer
    from cheroot import wsgi
ImportError: cannot import name 'wsgi' from 'cheroot' (unknown location)

At the moment I haven't time to take a deeper dive in this. Hopefully in a few weeks there are some weeks less busy so I can do more on SIP.
