Root Cause

Code imports pkg_resources (e.g., for entry points or resource access); setuptools 67+ flags it as deprecated in favor of importlib.metadata and importlib.resources.

generic

中文

代码导入 pkg_resources（例如用于入口点或资源访问）；setuptools 67+ 将其标记为已弃用，推荐使用 importlib.metadata 和 importlib.resources。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    from importlib.metadata import entry_points
eps = entry_points(group='console_scripts')
for ep in eps:
    print(ep.name, ep.value)
  2. 88% success 
    from importlib.resources import files
data = (files('mypkg') / 'data.txt').read_text()

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 75% fail

    Hides warnings but pkg_resources will be removed, breaking the code later.

  2. 80% fail

    Blocks security fixes and conflicts with packages that require newer setuptools.
