What was wrong?
Using
pkg_resources
in python 3.12 causes an error.Closes #3186
How was it fixed?
Conditionally use the new
importlib.metadata
format for supplying version info as it will be a bit before python 3.7 support is dropped here. We don't technically support python 3.12 yet, but this is a simple enough fix.Added a basic test for version info while in there.
