This PR updates the method for retrieving the version number of the polygon-api-client package. It replaces the use of pkg_resources from setuptools with importlib.metadata, which is part of the standard library in Python 3.8 and newer.
Changes
Removed import pkg_resources and replaced it with from importlib.metadata import version, PackageNotFoundError.
Updated the version retrieval logic to use importlib.metadata.version instead of pkg_resources.require.
