pkg_resources is deprecated with newer setuptools:
pywikibot/tools/__init__.py:25
/home/runner/work/pywikibot/pywikibot/pywikibot/tools/__init__.py:25: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
import pkg_resourcesIMPORTANT: Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib.resources, importlib.metadata and their backports (importlib_resources, importlib_metadata). Some useful APIs are also provided by packaging (e.g. requirements and version parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work to port to importlib-based solutions.
See: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
Python 3.7 is required to use importlib.resources and importlib.metadata needs Python 3,8
The Pywikibot's usage can be found at

Maybe importlib.metadata should be used to import the package. See also:
