I'm just relaying this from discord:

Quick question im trying to run tybot on a fresh install of ubuntu 24 server i have python3 and pip install sqlite3 etc but when i try to run the bot im getting this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/dev/aobots/bootstrap.py", line 8, in <module>     from upgrade import run_upgrades
    File "/home/dev/aobots/upgrade.py", line 1, in <module>     from core.db import DB
    File "/home/dev/aobots/core/db.py", line 4, in <module>     from pkg_resources import parse_version

the user is not using docker.

pkg_resources comes from setuptools, which seems to be not installed by default there, so adding it to requirements.txt might fix this.

pkg_resources is deprecated and removed in Python 3.12

[bigwheels16]

this should be fixed now
