[Python-modules-team] Bug#896276: python3-flask-limiter: flask_limiter fails to import

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: python3-flask-limiter
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: serious
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: python-import

After installing python3-flask-limiter importing the module flask_limiter
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/flask_limiter/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    from .errors import RateLimitExceeded
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/flask_limiter/errors.py", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import get_distribution
ModuleNotFoundError: 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.
