Template doesn´t work with Python 3.12

[keigezellig]

When generating an application with the template with Python 3.12, it gives the following error:

It has probably to do with the deprecation of the setuptools package in Python 3.12, as mentioned here. Installing setuptools globally in my system didn´t work either.

OS: Ubuntu 24.04
Python version: 3.12

I am trying this with Python 3.11 and get this depracation warning:

/var/folders/yx/296325p15r92zgg4zc7px5qh0000gp/T/tmp29pqmg8j.py:3: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
  from pkg_resources import (

I think the issue from both of these has to do with what you write above and in particular this line:

py-pkgs-cookiecutter/hooks/pre_gen_project.py

Line 3 in 8aed95c

from pkg_resources import (
