`pdm run myscript.py` results in `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'`

• I have searched the issue tracker and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Steps to reproduce

The google-cloud-storage package appears to depend on pkg_resources, which is a module of setuptools. setuptools is not one of my project dependencies, but shouldn’t it be installed as part of the Python environment? Regardless, after ensuring it’s installed in the base environment, pdm run ... still fails.

This works: python myscript.py This doesn’t: pdm run python myscript.py (see exception below)

I’m using Pyenv to mange my Python versions, and I ensured that my project is configured to use the correct interpreter. Also, pyenv which python and pdm run pyenv which python yield the same path.

Adding setuptools to the project dependencies will resolve the error, but it’s a dependency of a dependency and it’s installed in the base environment anyway. Something seems buggy.

Actual behavior

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/knjpythonanywhere/datarobot/powerschool/powerschool_sync/extract.py", line 10, in <module>
    from google.cloud import storage
  File "/home/knjpythonanywhere/datarobot/powerschool/__pypackages__/3.9/lib/google/cloud/storage/__init__.py", line 35, in <module>
    from google.cloud.storage.batch import Batch
  File "/home/knjpythonanywhere/datarobot/powerschool/__pypackages__/3.9/lib/google/cloud/storage/batch.py", line 30, in <module>

  File "/home/knjpythonanywhere/datarobot/powerschool/__pypackages__/3.9/lib/google/cloud/storage/_http.py", line 19, in <module>
    import pkg_resources
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Expected behavior

pdm run myscript.py should presumably have the same outcome as python myscript.py when I’m running both commands in the same working directory.

So google-cloud-storage fails to list setuptools as a dependency, you should add it: pdm add setuptools

I can confirm that extract-nwk.site_packages = true will solve it. However, it doesn’t seem to work using the global setting key: _.site_packages = true. Should I open a new issue for that?
