[Bug]: Warning about depreacted API of pkg_resources

[vinchatl]

Bug description

Installed aqtinstall on Windows using winget CLI, the app seems to work but there's an warning message about a deprecated API:

PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py:450: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.

Tried it with python 3.12.10 and 3.14.2.

Not sure if this comes from Windows installer, from the app or from a dependency.

Expected behavior

No warning message

aqt and python version

aqtinstall(aqt) v3.3.0 on Python 3.13.3 [CPython MSC v.1943 64 bit (AMD64)]

Operating System

Windows

It seems to be an issue with PyInstaller versions prior to 6.17.0 (2025-11-24).

If I use Pip to install it, then I don't encounter the issue.

I imagine that the issue will resolve itself with the next release, although I am not a maintainer on any of these projects.
