Summary

This PR replaces the deprecated pkg_resources module with the modern importlib.resources API.

Motivation

  • pkg_resources is deprecated and was removed from setuptools>=81.0.0
  • Python 3.12+ users encounter ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'
  • The official recommendation is to use importlib.resources (available since Python 3.9)

Changes

  • Replaced import pkg_resources with from importlib.resources import files
  • Updated build_sam3_image_model() to use files("sam3").joinpath(...)
  • Updated build_sam3_video_model() to use files("sam3").joinpath(...)

Testing

  • Tested on Python 3.12 with setuptools>=81.0.0
  • Verified BPE vocabulary file is correctly located
  • All model building functions work as expected
