TypeError: 'autocensus.geography' is not a package

[greg-larsen]

I've had similar issues, which resulted from invocations of

importlib.resources.files(__name__)

by autocensus.geography (and also autocensus.query and autocensus.utilities) when importing csv files from path-to-venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/autocensus. Substituting

importlib.resources.files("autocensus")

restored functionality.
