Publishes the packaging-import fix that's been on master since June 2026 but never made it to a PyPI release. pkg_resources stopped re-exporting packaging on newer setuptools (>=71), which broke bionetgen on Python 3.12+ with: ImportError: cannot import name 'packaging' from 'pkg_resources' Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

pkg_resources.packaging→from packaging import version as packaging_version, plus declaringpackagingexplicitly ininstall_requires) has been sitting onmainsince June 2026 but was never published — the last PyPI release (0.8.6) predates it.
