[DeadNews]

Description

When running poetry run ade install -r requirements.yml, the command fails with a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'.

$ poetry run ade install -r requirements.yml
Failed to discover requirements: Command 'ansible-builder introspect /home/runner/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/deadnews-template-ansible-kPNM4ADQ-py3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages --write-pip /home/runner/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/deadnews-template-ansible-kPNM4ADQ-py3.12/.ansible-dev-environment/discovered_requirements.txt --write-bindep /home/runner/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/deadnews-template-ansible-kPNM4ADQ-py3.12/.ansible-dev-environment/discovered_bindep.txt --sanitize' returned non-zero exit status 1. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Possible solution

The pkg_resources module is part of setuptools.

According to the Poetry documentation:

If your project relies on setuptools, you should declare it as a dependency.

This is not a bug within ade tool. While we do try to import pkg_resources, we nicely ignore an import failure. Poetry use is also not supported, so please identify the tool that generates the exception and try to propose a fix for it.
