Currently, running
manimglon Python 3.13+ produces a warning:UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API...
This happens because
manimlib/__init__.pyimportspkg_resourcesonly to retrieve the package version.Since
pkg_resourcesis deprecated and scheduled for removal after 2025-11-30, this will eventually break ManimGL.Proposed changes
pkg_resourcesinmanimlib/__init__.py.importlib.metadata, the recommended standard library API (Python ≥3.8).Test
