PyPI release?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am using oaklib in a project and import oaklib results in:

    import oaklib  # noqa: F401

    warnings.warn(
E   DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

This was fixed in #176 in April but has not yet been released. The last release of eutils, 0.6.0, was in 2019. There have been a few commits to this repo since then such as merging #176. Could you release a new version of eutils soon?

This is not a big deal, but we would like to not raise warnings in our library or its dependencies that may confuse end-users if possible. Thanks!

Hi! I keep forgetting to get this done. I'll do a final check to make sure things are as they should be this week and try to get one out.

(edit: I have stepped back from the biocommons project for a while; please check with another maintainer)

"pkg_resources is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30".

For now I am going to suppress the deprecation warning, but think that pypi package should be updated in due time. Thank you! :)

Just want to check in here. Let me know if I can help with the release in any way.

Release would be great, also in pyproject.toml it currently says:
[project]
name = "biocommons.eutils"

i guess it should be "eutils" right?

Is there any progress on this? As of today, the package does not work with Python 3.13 unless setuptools is installed separately, and even in that case, it raises a UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html..

Hi All. I'm working on this. Here are known needs:

• Update to latest biocommons template #178: Update python-packaging template. For other repos, this is about consistency. In this case, it's also needed because the ci-cd pipelines and build process are so old that they don't work any more.
• Fix failing tests #177: Also due to staleness, a number of tests seem to be failing. I need to investigate why.

As of now, that's all that's truly needed to get a release out.

I pushed a new release, 0.6.1. It's now available in PyPI at https://pypi.org/project/eutils/0.6.1/.

I've also opened a discussion about archiving this package. IMO, eutils has outlived its utility. Rationale and invitation to comment at #205.
