check_dependencies fails on Python 3.12 due to missing pkg_resources #38003
Description
Description
The check_dependencies GitHub Action is failing when run with Python 3.12.
The failure occurs during execution of find_python_dependencies, which imports the requirements package. That package still depends on pkg_resources, which is no longer available by default in Python 3.12.
This causes the workflow to exit early with a ModuleNotFoundError.
