setuptools requirement

[Sean-Morrison]

this package has a hidden dependency of setuptools <=66.1.1. With 66.2.0 "pkg_resources is deprecated as an API".

Just noting that I hit this as well. For others, the error looks like

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/awheeler/Simons Foundation Dropbox/Adam Wheeler/science/rotating_giants/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/sdss_semaphore/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import resource_filename
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Workaround of uv pip install 'setuptools<=66.1.1' worked.

the other option seems to be to use importlib

import importlib.resources as resources

try: #python 3.9+
path = resources.files(name).joinpath(f'etc/{self.MAPPING_BASENAME}')
except: #python 3.7 and 3.8
with resources.path(name+'.etc', 'sdss5_target_2_with_groups.csv') as path:
path = str(path)
