I opened a bug last June about a warning message CCI (or rather setuptools) has been giving for a while about pkg_resources being deprecated: https://github.com/SFDO-Tooling/CumulusCI/issues/3907
Well, setuptools v. 82 is out since 8th Feb and pkg_resources is finally gone:
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/tree/v82.0.0
As a workaround, we can still pin setuptools at v. 81, but realistically, this needed addressed long before the end of the year, and the bug hasn't even been acknowledged as yet.
Given that the last bug marked as fixed was another one of mine back in September, and the continued dependency on Pydantic V1 forcing users to stick with Python 3.11 (
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trailblazer-community/feed/0D5KX00000j9Ux40AE), this does raise concerns about whether CCI is actually still being maintained to the degree that it will remain usable.Well spotted, but review requested 4 months ago does not look great either way.
Fix might come in from the pyfilesystem2 end though, if this PR gets merged:
