setuptools missing

[kwollw]

Description

creating and running a client as described in this repo results in an runtime error due to missing module setuptools

Environment

• Python version: 3.11.2
• Operating System: Debian 12
• Version of the Python Socha Client: 2.0.4

Reproduction Steps

python3 -m venv sc24

source sc24/bin/activate

pip install socha

pip list

Package           Version
----------------- -------
pip               23.0.1
socha             2.0.4
xsdata            22.9

starting our Client:

python pus-client.py

==> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Solution:

pip install setuptools

This is caused by a broken/missing Python setuptools package. Since this is a general package of Python, I do not consider including it in the requirements of socha at this time.

However, I will note this in the documentation in case other people encounter this problem.
