Starting with Python 3.12,
pkg_resourcesis no longer available, and it is recommended to useimportlib.metadatainstead.If we drop support for Python < 3.8, we could get rid of
pkg_resourcescompletely (and therefore simplify the code required to get the version). Almost all scientific Python packages support the last 3 to 4 Python versions only, and I think we should do that too. We can keep Python 3.8 support for now, which means that we'd support five versions.
