03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT

googleapis/python-aiplatform #2931 · read the original issue

We should consider removing `setuptools` as a dependency and drop usage of `distutils` and `pkg_resources` to align with other `google-cloud-*` python packages where `setuptools` is not declared as a dependency. 



https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/blob/755c3f99478e537ef5675ed7120a17eaf94ee5cd/setup.py#L186



- For `distutils`, 

Aside from tests, `distutils` is only needed in `google/cloud/aiplatform/utils/prediction_utils.py`. We could migrate from `distutils.dir_util` to `shutil.copytree`

- For `pkg_resources`,

Aside from tests, `pkg_resources` is only needed in `google/cloud/aiplatform/initializer.py`. We could migrate to use `google.cloud.aiplatform.__version__` instead of `pkg_resources.get_distribution("google-cloud-aiplatform").version`

https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/blob/dcb62051a7f3aeaa009b64165569c788d8c5ec44/google/cloud/aiplatform/initializer.py#L424-L426
