In order to reduce the risk of malicious activity in our pods we have removed `setuptools` and `pip` amongst other things from the Dockerimage. This does however create a problem when using packages that depend on the `google.core_api` since it has a dependency on `pkg_resources`. At the moment this forces us to have `setuptools` installed in the pods running google services dependent on the core api.\r\n\r\nWould it be possible to remove the few dependencies on `pkg_resources` in the core-api?\r\n\r\nThanks in advance!\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jschennings","@type":"Person","name":"jschennings"},"datePublished":"2022-03-18T14:21:51.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/360/python-api-core/issues/360"}
