Windows 10, Miktex 24.4 minted issue results in unknown keys

[nick-petrovsky]

Dear Community,

I am experiencing an issue where the Minted package has stopped functioning on Windows 10 with MikTeX 24.4, resulting in an unusual error code. I have included a minimal example below for your reference.

Package versions (PATH variable is correct and where command locates right executables):

>>python --version
Python 3.10.11
>>mpm --version
MiKTeX Package Manager 4.5 (MiKTeX 24.4
>>pygmentize -V
Pygments version 2.18.0, (c) 2006-2024 by Georg Brandl, Matthäus Chajdas and contributors.
>>latexminted --version
latexminted 0.2.0
Python executable for the LaTeX minted package
Libraries: latex2pydata 0.4.0, latexrestricted 0.5.0, pygments 2.18.0
Repository: https://github.com/gpoore/minted
CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/minted
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/latexminted

Minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\begin{minted}{python}
import numpy
\end{minted}
\end{document}

>> xelatex --shell-escape --halt-on-error test.tex

Any advices?

Your minted latex package is up-to-date, but latexminted is 0.2.0 instead of 0.3.x. If latexminted is bundled in MiKTeX, then there is an issue with the MiKTeX packaging. Otherwise, if latexminted is installed manually, then it needs to be updated in the same way it was installed.

There is a check for compatibility on the LaTeX side, but it looks like I missed updating that for 0.3.x in the last minted release, so you're seeing a raw error instead of a compatibility error.

Thank you for the clarification! In my case, latexminted is installed separately from the MikTeX distribution. As a temporary solution, it is possible to simply reinstall the latest version using pip by running the following command: pip install --force-reinstall latexminted.

After not having used minted in a while, I found myself with the same problem. I didn't solve it for a while, but I was sure that I did update latexmined. However, today I tried it again and had to find that, apparently, I did not update it. The solution above worked for me now. Wanted to leave a redundant comment anyways so that I hopefully don't do the same mistake (whatever it was) in the future again.

My version was

> latexminted --version
latexminted 0.2.0
Python executable for the LaTeX minted package
Libraries: latex2pydata 0.4.0, latexrestricted 0.5.0, pygments 2.18.0
Repository: https://github.com/gpoore/minted
CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/minted
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/latexminted

With py -m pip install --force-reinstall latexminted I updated it to

>latexminted --version
latexminted 0.3.2
Python executable for the LaTeX minted package
Libraries: latex2pydata 0.4.1, latexrestricted 0.6.2, pygments 2.18.0
Repository: https://github.com/gpoore/minted
CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/minted
