4.3.0 release is breaking on Windows

[gr8jam]

After upgrading Chameleon package to the latest release (4.3.0) I noticed that my project stopped working on Windows (on macOS everything seems fine). Here is the last part of the exception's traceback:

  ...
  File "C:\Users\myproject\venv\Lib\site-packages\chameleon\template.py", line 391, in read
    files = importlib_resources.files(self.spec.pname)

    return from_package(get_package(package))

    return cand if isinstance(cand, types.ModuleType) else importlib.import_module(cand)
                                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'C'

After looking at the Changes, my hunch is that it's something related to:

• Replace pkg_resources with newer and faster importlib.resources and importlib.metadata. Just importing pkg_resources becomes slower and slower the more packages are installed.

but, I am not sure how to fix it.

This is a bug introduced in ad7a4985871946af9213745b24f093f0a369749d. Let me first add a Windows test run, then fix the issue.

Thanks for jumping on this so quickly!

I saw the changelog about 4.4.0 potentially fixing this, but alas, no such luck on my end: https://github.com/mahmoud/clastic/actions/runs/7241001024/job/19724620933?pr=37

@mahmoud strange I'll take a look.

@mahmoud something went wrong with the 4.4.0 release – I have released 4.4.1 to replace it.

Just circling back to confirm the new build worked. Thanks!
