After installing python-setuptools-scm importing the module setuptools_scm
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools_scm/__init__.py", line 10,
in <module>
from .version import format_version, meta, ScmVersion

<module>
from pkg_resources import iter_entry_points
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
The vast majority of import failures is attributed to missing dependencies.
Often times that manifests as an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError.
Typically, dependencies should be inserted by dh-python via ${python:Depends}
or ${python3:Depends}. Thus a missing dependency can be caused by incomplete
install_requires in setup.py. Sometimes a missing dependency of a dependency
is the cause, in such cases this bug should be reassigned.
