Unable to install omegaconf (latest, 2.2.3, >2.0.0), python 3.11, 3.10, antlr4-python3-runtime failed

[de-served]

I need to install omegaconf latest or 2.2.3, but have an issues installing it.
Latest omegaconf requests antlr4-python3-runtime version 4.9.* that fails to install
Installing antlr4-python3-runtime successfully installs 4.13.1, but not 4.9.*

Tried python 3.11, 3.10
Tried upgraded pip/setuptools to latest and downgraded setuptools to 68

Tried omegaconf:

omegaconf==2.3 (asks antlr4-python3-runtime==4.9.* (from omegaconf==2.3->-r requirements.txt (line 6)))
omegaconf<2.3 (antlr4-python3-runtime==4.9.* (from omegaconf<2.3->-r requirements.txt (line 6)))
omegaconf<2.2 (antlr4-python3-runtime==4.8 (from omegaconf<2.2->-r requirements.txt (line 6)))
omegaconf<2.1 (only 2.0.0 installed, all other versions "has invalid metadata")

Tried all versions of antlr4-python3-runtime:

antlr4-python3-runtime==4.9.3
antlr4-python3-runtime<4.9
antlr4-python3-runtime<4.8
antlr4-python3-runtime<4.7
antlr4-python3-runtime<4.5

1. Create a virtual environment (my default python is 3.11) python.exe -m venv .\venv or D:\Dev\Python\3.10\python.exe -m venv .\venv (my secondary python 3.10)
2. Activate venv: venv\Scripts\activate.bat
3. (can be skipped) python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
4. create requirements.txt with omegaconf line (not direct command because different versions tried)
5. run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt - ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (antlr4-python3-runtime)
6. edit requirements.txt to omegaconf<2.3, repeat №5 - same error
7. repeat №6, changing 2.3 to 2.2, 2.1 - same errors except that version 2.0.0 was installed

Console logs attached:
1. 3.11 venv setup.log.txt
2. 3.11 venv omegaconf setup.log.txt
3. 3.11 venv omegaconf==2.2.3 setup.log.txt
4. 3.11 venv antlr4-python3-runtime setup.log.txt
5. 3.11 venv omegaconf setup.log.txt
6. 3.11 venv antlr4-python3-runtime==4.9.3 setup.log.txt

Please provide minimal repro instructions.
Please note that OmegaConf 2.4 dev releases no longer depends on antlr (they contains a vendored copy if it) which may help your problem.

Perhaps it would be time to release the new version?

When antlr4-python3-runtime==4.9.3 had SERIALIZED_VERSION=3 OmegaConf's compiled lexer was working, but in 4.11.1+ it's set to 4.

File "/opt/conda/lib/python3.12/site-packages/antlr4/atn/ATNDeserializer.py", line 28, in deserialize
    self.checkVersion()
  File "/opt/conda/lib/python3.12/site-packages/antlr4/atn/ATNDeserializer.py", line 50, in checkVersion
    raise Exception("Could not deserialize ATN with version " + str(version) + " (expected " + str(SERIALIZED_VERSION) + ").")
 Exception: Could not deserialize ATN with version  (expected 4).

I believe this was fixed in #1114 but not yet released, right @omry ?

Meanwhile this should be fixable by using version pinning/upper bound on antlr4-python3-runtime==4.9.3.
E.g: pip install omegaconf antlr4-python3-runtime==4.9.3

@clumsy there's a dev version on PyPI already, it's the best we have https://pypi.org/project/omegaconf/2.4.0.dev3/

When will the final prod 2.4.0 version be released?
