Description

PS C:\dev\nitypes-python> poetry run nps lint
C:\dev\nitypes-python\.venv\Lib\site-packages\flake8_import_order\styles.py:3: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.
  from pkg_resources import iter_entry_points

This is with flake8-import-order 0.18.2.

It's fixed in flake8-import-order 0.19.0: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-import-order/issues/201

However, we've blocked upgrading of flake8-import-order for other reasons: https://github.com/ni/python-styleguide/pull/225

Research direction

Start by reviewing the flake8-import-order constraint and the reasons documented in pull request #225. Compare version 0.18.2 with 0.19.0, then run poetry run nps lint to verify the pkg_resources warning is gone without reintroducing the issues that blocked the upgrade.
