``importlib_resources`` is a backport of Python standard library

`importlib.resources

`_

module for older Pythons.

The key goal of this module is to replace parts of `pkg_resources

`_ with a

solution in Python's stdlib that relies on well-defined APIs.  This makes

reading resources included in packages easier, with more stable and consistent

semantics.

Compatibility

=============

New features are introduced in this third-party library and later merged

into CPython. The following table indicates which versions of this library

were contributed to different versions in the standard library:
