Hi, pkg_resources is part of setuptools which is not installed by default in python>=3.12. To fix this just have a pip install setuptools.

[note for next release]
To fix this, either add setuptools in setup.py dependencies or -- better-- replace pkg_resources by importlib.

@mmmaat Thank you! Yes, that did the trick for me.
