Migrate from pkg_resources to importlib

[Alienrazor]

import pkg_resources
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

@Alienrazor: pip install setuptools

I guess we should migrate to importlib.

Thanks so much

I guess we should migrate to importlib.

Someone want to open an issue or pull request describing what's going on? I'm not fully in the loop.

setuptools used to be installed in virtualenvs by default. It contains the pkg_resources module, that's depended on here. It's no longer installed in virtualenvs by default, as pip now builds packages in isolated environments (using PEP517)

The general replacement for pkg_resources is the stdlib importlib
