ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

See original GitHub issue

The docker environment where we run our tests has been failing since yesterday morning (10th February) with a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' error.

After some investigation, we noticed it upgraded setuptools to version 45.2.0 on that morning.

Downgrading setuptools to 45.1.0 fixed our issue, and everything is working as expected again.

There might have been some change in 45.2.0 that triggered this issue. Let me know what other information I can provide.

We found out that using the inbuilt venv instead of virtualenv (using setuptools 45.2.0) actually also worked
