Public bug reported: launchpadlib has testresources listed in its requires.txt, though it is only a test dependency.
The package in Ubuntu doesn't depend on python-testresources. If you try and use pkg_resources in any project that depends on launchpadlib you get errors if python-testresources isn't installed. The packaging could add the dependency, but it's only needed to run launchpadlib's test suite. launchpadlib could move testresources to be a test dependency (either test_requires or whatever the spelling it, or an extra_requires for [test] or however that is done.) In the meantime the workaround is to install python-testresources if you need to use pkg_resources in a project that depends on launchpadlib.
