Firstly, thank you for your work on this invaluable library. I rely on lifelines for survival calculations and it has been instrumental in a package I created.
I've recently encountered an issue when running tests on Python 3.11. It appears that the pkg_resources module, which lifelines depends upon, has been deprecated in favor of importlib.resources.
Considering the deprecation, do you have plans to transition from pkg_resources to the recommended importlib.resources? This would ensure that lifelines remains compatible with future versions of Python and does not produce deprecation warnings.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to any updates on this matter.
Hello lifelines maintainers,
Firstly, thank you for your work on this invaluable library. I rely on lifelines for survival calculations and it has been instrumental in a package I created.
I've recently encountered an issue when running tests on Python 3.11. It appears that the pkg_resources module, which lifelines depends upon, has been deprecated in favor of importlib.resources.
Here's the relevant warning:
DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
Considering the deprecation, do you have plans to transition from pkg_resources to the recommended importlib.resources? This would ensure that lifelines remains compatible with future versions of Python and does not produce deprecation warnings.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to any updates on this matter.
Best, Shaun
