pkg_resources is scheduled to be removed in 2025-11-30 but altgraph still uses it to query its own version. There is an open pull request to altgraph to fix it (ronaldoussoren/altgraph#25) but it's showing no signs getting merged. Monkeypatch a fake pkg_resources into sys.modules when importing altgraph so that its version query doesn't take out PyInstaller come 2025-11-30.

Hi. Any reason why this hasn't merged yet after being approved in June? |
|
Still not merged? What is the plan to deal with this further? |
|
I'm afraid this package is not actively maintained anymore... |

I've been busy at work, and this package generally only sees minor upgrades for new versions of Python. This means this package gets minimal attention. I'll push out a release that usage of pkg_resources soon. |

I've implemented a different solution: just accept that I'll have to update both version and setup.cfg for new versions. |

Thanks @ronaldoussoren |
