+.. change::
+ :tags: bug, general
+ :tickets: 885
+
+ The dependency on ``pkg_resources`` which is part of ``setuptools`` has
+ been removed, so there is no longer any runtime dependency on
+ ``setuptools``. The functionality has been replaced with
+ ``importlib.metadata`` and ``importlib.resources`` which are both part of
+ Python std.lib, or via pypy dependency ``importlib-metadata`` for Python
+ version < 3.8 and ``importlib-resources`` for Python version < 3.7.
