pipx: pkg_resources (setuptools) not found

[emperor06]

Recently, sysbus stopped working because it can't find the pkg_resources module, which is part of setuptools.

Setuptools is installed system-wide but, for some reason, it is not available anymore to the sysbus virtual env. Affected system: archlinux and derivatives.

I ran the following command and now it works again:

pipx runpip sysbus install setuptools

Maybe a setuptools dependency is missing somewhere? It seems other projects had this issue (mkb79/audible-cli#188).

Thank you for reporting this issue. I'll try to have a look. However, you could fork and propose a PR if you think you can find the solution. I don't use pipx nor archlinux...

I'm afraid I'm at a total lost with these python virtual env things, pipx, and the rest :/

Ok, I will investigate

pkg_resources is deprecated and removed in python 3.12:

Could you make a PR with the required modifications?
