Root Cause

Code (often a third-party library) imports pkg_resources, which setuptools plans to remove; the warning surfaces at import time.

generic

中文

代码（通常是第三方库）导入了 pkg_resources，setuptools 计划移除它；该警告在导入时出现。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    Replace pkg_resources usage with importlib.metadata:
  # old: pkg_resources.get_distribution('foo').version
  from importlib.metadata import version
  version('foo')
  2. 80% success 
    If the import is inside a third-party lib, upgrade it:
  pip install --upgrade <lib>
Check with: pip list --outdated
  3. 60% success 
    Suppress narrowly in pyproject.toml [tool.pytest.ini_options] filterwarnings if you cannot upgrade yet.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    Newer setuptools still ships pkg_resources but emits the warning; upgrading does not silence it.

  2. 60% fail

    Hides the warning but the underlying API will be removed; the library will break eventually.
