ImportError when using abicheck.py with abipy and pymatgen

[emayMTK]

I'm encountering an issue when trying to use abicheck.py with the abipy and pymatgen libraries in my abienv conda environment. Here's the command I'm running and the error I'm facing:

Command:

(abienv) mtk@mtk-HP-EliteBook-x360-1030-G2:~/abipy$ abicheck.py --with-flow
Error :

/home/mtk/miniconda3/envs/abienv/bin/abicheck.py:4: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
  __import__('pkg_resources').run_script('abipy==0.9.3', 'abicheck.py')

It seems that the AbinitTimerParserError class is not being imported from the pymatgen.io.abinit.abitimer module, causing the ImportError. I have already checked that both abipy and pymatgen are installed in my abienv environment.

I have tried updating both abipy and pymatgen using conda update, but the issue persists. I'm using Python 3.9.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
