See title, apparently pkg_resources is deprecated. There are two alternatives:

Replacing it with importlib.resources. This would require bumping the minimum Python version up to 3.11.
Loading resources from a path relative to __file__. This would not work in some specific cases, such as when the package is imported from a zip file. I'm not sure if we need to support that situation though.

Any thoughts?

I personally use NintendoClients (and most Python 3+ libraries) under version 3.11 so that version bump would not be a problem for me
