Description:
On a fresh Archlinux install, installing the qtile package is not enough as it is missing a dependency on python-setuptools. Additional info: * package version(s): 0.18.0-2 Steps to reproduce: - Remove any python-* packages from the system (or start on a fresh arch install). - pacman -S qtile - Launch qtile and the following error will occur: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libqtile/scripts/main.py", line 9, in <module> import pkg_resources ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/qtile", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('qtile==0.18.1.dev0+g8e7ecc0a.d20210719', 'console_scripts', 'qtile')()) File "/usr/bin/qtile", line 25, in importlib_load_entry_point return next(matches).load() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/metadata.py", line 77, in load module = import_module(match.group('module')) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1030, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 986, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 680, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 850, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 228, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libqtile/scripts/main.py", line 11, in <module> except (pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound, ImportError): NameError: name 'pkg_resources' is not defined ``` |

I will release a new version of the package soon.
Meanwhile I have also created an upstream ticket to resolve this issue (there are better ways than pkg_resources to get a module's version on newer Python versions).
