pyinstaller fails packaging jsonschema 3.0.0 and anyconfig on alpine

[gsemet]

When using anyconfig:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'jsonschema' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Only happen on alpine build. Linux and windows builds works. No pbl on jsonschema <3.0.0

Hi. Sorry you're having trouble.

Possibly this is the same issue as in #500 -- or at least my response would be the same, which is to say pyinstaller isn't a tested configuration in jsonschema's CI, so it's not really supported unless someone wants to contribute adding one. In general those tools do weird things to accomplish the goal (some of those weird things necessary ones!).

[gsemet]

Isn’t it possible to use importlib_resource which is the recommended way for future compatibility to get packages data ? Don’t know really if this comes from here, but future version of python will break compatibility with get_distribition and so on.

@gsemet what's there now comes directly from the setuptools_scm documentation.

I'm happy to try whatever, but yeah like I said, if the goal is to support pyinstaller, it'd have to be by also getting that under CI.

[gsemet]

Ok. I use more and more https://importlib-resources.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ knowing that pkg_resource is end of life, at least for python 3.8+.

PS: I use PBR for similar feature than setuptools_scm. Don't know this package, but PBR works great :)
