Current Behaviour

Thanks for the great repository!

Currently fails on the import with

import ydata_profilling

Resulting in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\foo\test.py", line 9, in <module>
    import ydata_profiling
  File "C:\Users\foo\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache\virtualenvs\foo-nnQxNQNi-py3.12\Lib\site-packages\ydata_profiling\__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
    from ydata_profiling.compare_reports import compare  # isort:skip # noqa
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    import pkg_resources
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Expected Behaviour

The library should be successfully imported.

This seems to be due to setuptools not being installed. A simple pip install setuptools or poetry add setuptools solves the issue.

[abdrysdale]

I've created a pull request for the fix which includes setuptools in the requirements.

However, it is worth noting that pkg_resources is being slowly depreciated in favor of importlib.resources and there is also a really handy migration guide on the subject matter.

It's worth noting that importlib.resources only supports the following APIs:

• pkg_resources.resource_filename()
• pkg_resources.resource_stream()
• pkg_resources.resource_string()
• pkg_resources.resource_listdir()
• pkg_resources.resource_isdir()

so importlib.resources may not be an appropriate.

The reason this happens is due to setuptools no longer being bundled with venvs from Python 3.12, I left a longer comment on the PR: #1619 (comment)
