[BUG] setuptools.command.develop leaks pkg_resources DeprecationWarning

[hroncok]

setuptools version

67.6.1, 69.0.3

Python version

3.11.2, 3.12.1

OS

Fedora Linux

Additional environment information

This happens with other Python versions as well.

Description

When setuptools.command.develop is imported, pkg_resources DeprecationWarning is omitted, but the user is not importing pkg_resources, setuptools are doing it.

Expected behavior

Setuptools-internal imports of pkg_resources should not emit DeprecationWarnings about pkg_resources . They might convert such DeprecationWarnings to deprecations of the actually user-imported modules if that i the plan.

How to Reproduce

(venv) $ pip install -U setuptools
(venv) $ python -X dev
Python 3.11.2 (main, Feb  8 2023, 00:00:00) [GCC 12.2.1 20221121 (Red Hat 12.2.1-4)] on linux

>>> from setuptools.command.develop import develop
/home/churchyard/tmp/venv/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py:121: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API
  warnings.warn("pkg_resources is deprecated as an API", DeprecationWarning)

Output

>>> from setuptools.command.develop import develop
/home/churchyard/tmp/venv/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py:121: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API
