python-catalogue: AttributeError: type object 'EntryPoint' has no attribute '_from_text'

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I intend to package python-catalogue[1] but there is a test suite
issue (see salsa-ci for complete log[2]):

platform linux -- Python 3.10.3, pytest-6.2.5, py-1.10.0, pluggy-1.0.0

    def test_entry_points():
        # Create a new EntryPoint object by pretending we have a setup.cfg and
        # use one of catalogue's util functions as the advertised function
        ep_string = "[options.entry_points]test_foo\n    bar = catalogue:check_exists"
>       ep = catalogue.importlib_metadata.EntryPoint._from_text(ep_string)
E       AttributeError: type object 'EntryPoint' has no attribute '_from_text'

Any hint would be welcome

       Andreas.
