ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

[hruhland-mtm]

Doorstop v2.2.1 is not compatible with python versions later than 3.12 (default on ubuntu 24.04 LTS) due to depreciation of pkg_resources as mentioned by this issue: mu-editor/mu#2485

This appears to have already been fixed in the dev branch earlier this year: 7ab309c

I resolved my issue by downgrading python to an earlier version.

I just ran into this, since I'm not very familiar with Python and tooling, I'll share what I did to help those in a similar position. I installed pyenv. Then ran

pyenv install 3.12.8

which created a local installation of Python in ~/.pyenv. With

pyenv shell 3.12.8

I set Python for this shell to the earlier version. I still had to include the--python python3.12 switch on the pipx command-line:

pipx reinstall --python python3.12 doorstop
