pkg_resources in current release (2.4.1) clashes with python 3.12 default venv

[ideesnoires]

please make a new release, it's fixed in HEAD 653c82c

here the python docs: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html#summary-release-highlights
"Do not pre-install setuptools in virtual environments created with venv. This means that distutils, setuptools, pkg_resources, and easy_install will no longer available by default; to access these run pip install setuptools in the activated virtual environment."

This issue is with Python 3.12 and I suggest it should be fixed in no time because some projects using django-formtools are broken after system upgrade (Fedora 39). I guess all other distros that switched to Python 3.12 are having this issue as well.

Error:

venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/formtools/init.py", line 2, in
from pkg_resources import DistributionNotFound, get_distribution
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Where pkg_resources is called:
"venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/formtools/init.py",

import django
from pkg_resources import DistributionNotFound, get_distribution

try:
version = get_distribution("django-formtools").version
except DistributionNotFound:
# package is not installed
version = None

if django.VERSION <= (3, 2):
default_app_config = 'formtools.apps.FormToolsConfig'

Closing as it's fixed in head. #253, then #254 will produce a new release.
