Correct, it was and still is part of setuptools

This should be setuptools-36.2.7 btw

Its not partly a class, it uses a class to install the package along 
with distutils.

There is something wrong with your build although I am not sure what it 
is, pkg_resources is still part of python(3)-setuptools, in fact you can 
check that in several ways

if you do a devshell on python3-setuptools-native you can see the 
extracted package contains the pkg_resources folder (so it is still part 
of the package)
then if you do a devshell after do_install, you can check the image 
directory and find the setuptools.egg file, which is what python-native 
uses later, if you unzip that
egg file, you can see that pkg_resources is there, so it was in fact 
packaged on Yocto / by bitbake.

Lastly, you can also do a
$ bitbake bmap-tools-native -c devshell

you can then check that python3-native is in fact executing by doing a

$ which python3

that should point to python3-native (the one you just built)

assuming you got python3-native correctly, execute python3

once in python you can do a


from pkg_resources import load_entry_point # which would import the module

# check where the module is being loaded from
import sys
sys.modules['pkg_resources']

That should print out the location of the imported module, and you can 
see there that infact it was imported from the setuptools.egg file you 
just built before, like this:

 >>> sys.modules['pkg_resources']
<module 'pkg_resources' from 
'$HOME/builds/qemux86-64/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/bmap-tools-native/3.4-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/setuptools-36.2.7-py3.5.egg/pkg_resources/__init__.py'>
