Yes, the documented API of ‘pkg_resources.load_entry_point’ is all
that is needed, so no dependency on Setuptools is declared.

The bug is that the ‘pkg_resources’ module installed by
‘python-pkg-resources’ currently does not provide the API as documented.

Thanks for the report. I am merging it with the existing report for
this bug.
