3.12 qr cli: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

[imba-tjd]

As of Python 3.12, distutils has been removed. However qrcode/console_scripts.py uses pkg_resources. The temporary fix is pip install setuptools.

Now this affects installations without setuptools in general, for example those created by uv venv.

this also affects installations using poetry
