pipx install pulp-cli[pygments] does not correctly install setuptools on Python 3.12

[JeppeKlitgaard]

Summary

Steps to reproduce

1. pipx install pulp-cli[pygments]
2. pulp

Gives

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jkl/.local/bin/pulp", line 5, in <module>
    from pulp_cli import main
  File "/home/jkl/.local/share/pipx/venvs/pulp-cli/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pulp_cli/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    import pkg_resources
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Expected behavior

Pulp and pulp-cli version info

• pulp3 command line interface, version 0.22.0

Fix

This can be manually fixed by issuing:

pipx inject pulp-cli[pygments] setuptools

On a first attempt I could not reproduce this on a debian machine. Probably I have the setuptools package installed globally.

I reckon you're right that python3-setuptools being installed may fix this. I think you've already managed to fix this (thank you for the rather incredible turn-around time on that!). I am happy to try and reproduce this in a Dockerfile if you think that would be helpful

I'd love to hear you confirming that this approach works. It turned out that using pkg_resources was deprecated after all.
