Motivation
Currently, running
manimgl
on Python 3.13+ produces a warning:UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API...
This happens because
manimlib/__init__.py
importspkg_resources
only to retrieve the package version.Since
pkg_resources
is deprecated and scheduled for removal after 2025-11-30, this will eventually break ManimGL.Proposed changes
pkg_resources
inmanimlib/__init__.py
.importlib.metadata
, the recommended standard library API (Python ≥3.8).Test
Code:
Result:
No deprecation warning is shown, and the version is still correctly displayed.
Closes #2388
