importlib-resources 6.4.2

Read resources from Python packages

importlib_resources is a backport of Python standard library importlib.resources module for older Pythons.

The key goal of this module is to replace parts of pkg_resources with a solution in Python’s stdlib that relies on well-defined APIs. This makes reading resources included in packages easier, with more stable and consistent semantics.
