ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

pip install setuptools fixes this temporarily but I guess this is something that will need to be resolved going forward?

And afterwards it reports

$ miniwdl --version     
miniwdl v1.13.0
/home/user/kg/miniwdl-dev/.direnv/python-3.13/lib64/python3.13/site-packages/WDL/CLI.py:149: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.
  import pkg_resources  # type: ignore

@hexylena Thanks for reporting- we do need to move away from pkg_resources. As it happens though, the only place we actually use it is exactly in miniwdl --version to report plugin versions! So hopefully it didn't cause other problems.
