We wrap a couple different versions of the stdlib interface, and fall back to pkg_resources for compatibility with existing use cases on very old versions of python. For python 3.8 and on, we make sure to completely avoid external dependencies, even backports. Bug: PyFilesystem#577

@althonos I have resurrected #553 in spirit with what I hope is a universally satisfying and backwards-compatible change. What do you think? Please also see some of my other (recent) PRs which improve the testsuite. It would be great to have some of these merged so that we could have a reliable python 3.12 experience. |

Can we please get these fixes merged... |

I haven't given up on this PR by the way -- I am not aware of any issues with it though, so I'm just waiting for someone with commit access to review... |
