Chains of parts with python contents can fail with pkg_resources import error
Metadata
Current evaluation
Python part wheel build fails with pkg_resources.py31compat ImportError for bitstring on xenial. 8+ years old, zero comments, no labels. Parts system since rewritten in craft-parts with modern pip/setuptools, making this error no longer reproducible.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: Issue is 3044 days old with zero maintainer interaction, no labels, and no comments. The parts system has been completely rewritten into craft-parts, and the python plugin now uses modern pip/setuptools (craft_parts/plugins/python_plugin.py defaults to pip+setuptools+wheel). The pkg_resources.py31compat module was removed from setuptools long ago, and the old pip/setuptools version mismatch that caused this error no longer exists in the current codebase.
