Requested Feature: Since this project only officially supports Python >= 3.7, it is now possible to remove the setuptools dependency with the cpython builtin importlib.resources.
Related Area: dependencies
Do you want to contribute this yourself as a pull request? (don’t worry about it if you don’t want to/can’t — someone else can take care of it)
[ ] Yes, I have already written code for it (link if available and feasible)
[ ] Yes, I don’t have code ready yet (that’s okay!)
[x] No (that’s okay too!)
Does this feature affect backwards compatibility? If yes, in what way?
As this was introduced in Python 3.7, it should not have any side-effect!
Rationale and full description: (why should it be added to Nikola?)
The pkg_resources API is deprecated and replacing it with a Python internal library is a good approach :)
