+importlib-resources is a backport of Python standard library
+importlib.resources module for older Pythons.
+
+The key goal of this module is to replace parts of pkg_resources with a
+solution in Python's stdlib that relies on well-defined APIs. This makes
+reading resources included in packages easier, with more stable and
+consistent semantics.
+
+*NOTE*: you have to build the dependencies (python3 excluded) with
+python3 already installed.
