This is is slight modification of #1058 for the leaderboard-2.0 branch with adjustments for Carla 0.9.12.
Description
distutils LooseVersion and pkg_resources are deprecated and not available in later python versions.
This introduces two commits fixing these deprecation for Python3.8+ while maintaining functionality for Python3.7.
NOTE: Reverting the second commit removes the backward compatibility to Python3.7, as
importlib.metadata
is introduced in Python3.8.Where has this been tested?
Possible Drawbacks
The second commit bloats the code a bit and should be reverted when python3.7 should not be supported anymore removing pkg_resources entirely.
