rfe: pkg_resources module replacement #5952

Closed PaulYuuu closed 5 months ago

PaulYuuu commented 5 months ago

The use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib_metadata, importlib_resources, so remove it from project.

PaulYuuu commented 5 months ago

stdlib importlib.metadata/resources are not stable, closing this.

Hi @PaulYuuu,

A follow up on this is that we already have issue https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/issues/5754 that includes the work you talk about here.

I've already did some work here, and the lack of API stability you mention is real. The solution I'm attempting is to introduce a autils.compat.importlib that provides a stable API across Python versons.
