Description
Summary
I'm trying to work out how to remove uses of:
import pkg_resources
pkg_resources.declare_namespace(__name__)
Now that pkg_resources is deprecated.
There is a docs section on this:
Which suggests the following snippet:
__import__("pkg_resources").declare_namespace(__name__)
Won't this also not work because pkg_resources is deprecated?

Check whether the documented transition remains valid, then update or clarify that documentation so the guidance addresses the use of pkg_resources.declare_namespace.
