Missing dependency `pkg_resources`

[matteosantama]

The library depends on pkg_resources but it is not listed in requirements.txt so after pip install mkdocs-bibtex I'm getting

import mkdocs_bibtex

File ~/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/mfglib-SRAM7qJs-py3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/mkdocs_bibtex/__init__.py:1
----> 1 from pkg_resources import DistributionNotFound, get_distribution
      3 from mkdocs_bibtex.plugin import BibTexPlugin
      5 try:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Ah, it's not pkg_resources that's actually missing -- it's setuptools. After pip install setuptools it works.

Oh! This is quite the interesting development. I'm assuming you're using this in a package where you use poetry instead of setuptools?

[matteosantama]

Yes, that’s right!

Ok, I know the issue. Its odd, but i can fix it. Let me do some repository cleanup and i'll take care of this issue.

[shyamd]

The latest release: v2.8.6 should fix this. Let me know if you're still having issues. I only tried a simple dummy poetry package and I might have gotten it wrong.

[shyamd]

Correction, it turned out to be v2.8.8 due to some hiccups fixing GH actions.

[matteosantama]

Hi @shyamd, thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately I am still running into the error with v2.8.8.

When I add an explicit setuptools = "^65.6.3" dependency, mkdocs serve runs fine.

[matteosantama]

I would think in setup.py you need to add setuptools here (although admittedly I am not very familiar with using a setup.py file for manually building packages).
