Dependency on pkg-resources

[richardajensen]

Ran into an issue installing Sumy. My system had the latest (82) version of setuptools installed, and pkg-resources is no longer included. Had to downgrade to 81.

@richardajensen thank you for the report. Can you share the stacktrace please? I suspect it's a transitive dependency.

I'm not sure how to pull a stacktrace. Here's the warning that is displayed when I run the Sumy app from the shell:

/home/rich/.local/share/pipx/venvs/sumy/lib/python3.12/site-packages/breadability/__init__.py:9: 
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

(line breaks added to improve readability)

Let me know how to pull a stacktrace, and I'll happily post the message here.
Thanks!!

I'm facing the same issue, looks like the breadability project received it's last update two years ago. Maybe switching to BeautifulSoup for the HTMLParser would be an option?
