[BUG] Deprecated/removed code.

Error when attempting to run latest python release of save editor.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ”/…/Graveyard-Keeper-Savefile-Editor-master/main.py", line 1115, in
run()
File ”/…/Graveyard-Keeper-Savefile-Editor-master/main.py", line 1085, in run
eel_version = pkg_resources.get_distribution("eel").version
AttributeError: module 'pkg_resources' has no attribute 'get_distribution'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ”/…/Graveyard-Keeper-Savefile-Editor-master/main.py", line 1119, in

File ”/…/Graveyard-Keeper-Savefile-Editor-master/main.py", line 1085, in run
eel_version = pkg_resources.get_distribution("eel").version
AttributeError: module 'pkg_resources' has no attribute 'get_distribution'

Most likely due to https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/pkg_resources.html

Usage of pkg_resources is no longer included in current distributions/installations as of setuptools v82.0.0

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install latest setuptools
2. run main.py
3. See error

Additional context
This was when attempting to run on a mac using Python v.3.9.6 and setuptools v.82.0.1

Currently there seem to be two ways to fix it. The simplest one is pinning setuptools<=80.10.2 in requirements.txt, but using importlib is the more long-term solution to this issue.

hey, could you explain how to use importlib to fix it? i tried changing the setuptools but now it gets stuck loading forever when i try to actually start loading a save and i get this in the console
