ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' with Python 3.12

From the pkg_resources docs: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of [importlib.resources] (https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/importlib.resources.html#module-importlib.resources), [importlib.metadata] (https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/importlib.metadata.html#module-importlib.metadata) and their backports (importlib_resources, [importlib_metadata] (https://pypi.org/project/importlib_metadata)). Some useful APIs are also provided by [packaging] (https://pypi.org/project/packaging) (e.g. requirements and version parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work to port to importlib-based solutions.

Python 3.12 has removed pkg_resources from the standard library (moved to setuptools): https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html

https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/95299: Do not pre-install setuptools in virtual environments created with [venv] (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#module-venv). This means that distutils, setuptools, pkg_resources, and easy_install will no longer available by default; to access these run pip install setuptools in the [activated] (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#venv-explanation) virtual environment.
