certbot-dns-cloudflare @1.29.0+python310: The 'cloudflare>=1.5.1' distribution was not found

[guhpedro (Gustavo Marques)]

​python-cloudflare is required to use certbot with the certbot-dns-cloudflare plugin.

I installed both certbot and certbot-dns-cloudflare using MacPorts. I am running macOS 12.5.1 (21G83) (Intel).

When running the certbot command with certbot-dns-cloudflare installed, it returns the following

An unexpected error occurred:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'cloudflare>=1.5.1' distribution was not found and is required by the application

A workaround is to sudo port install py310-pip and then sudo pip-3.10 install cloudflare.

This will install the dependency required by certbot-dns-cloudflare to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages and certbot will run.

Two comments:

1) It isn't a good idea to install anything via py-pip. You may run into issues, i.e. things will break, as MacPorts packages are updated.

2) I maintain core certbot, but the plug-in packages were added by others, and I don't actively test them. I will see if I can put together a py-cloudflare package for MacPorts.
