The `ModuleNotFoundError: pkg_resources` occurs when the underlying virtualenv does not have `setuptools` installed, e.g. when installed with `uv tool install bibdesk2zotero`. This is because `pybtex<=0.24` import `pkg_resources` module, which is contained in the `setuptools` package. Note that for `pybtex>0.24` (not released yet), they drop dependency on it and use instead `importlib`, part of the python stdlib. This means `setuptools` will not be needed for `pybtex>0.24`. I did a bisect search and found that setuptools>=40.4.3 is required for the bibdesk2zotero script to work.
