csvsql (only) emits lot's of warnings on STDERR

[Robert]

First thanks for the marvellous set of tools.

There is a problem with csvsql - no matter what options it is given, it will print out the following warnings before any useful output:

$ csvsql -h

version (installed from official repositories extra) is

$csvsql --version                                                                                                                                                          ✔

$ python --version                                                                                                                                                          ✔ 
Python 3.11.5

all other utilities do not suffer with this problem, I checked all below with -h option - their output is normal

csvclean csvcut csvformat csvgrep csvjoin csvjson csvlook csvpy csvsort csvstack csvstat

I can go around this problem with alias csvsql='csvsql 2>/dev/null' but that is probably best kept as a temporary solution.

I understand this might be an upstream issue, but why then the other utils do not suffer from the same problem?

version is 1.1.1

You must upgrade to 1.2.0. 1.1.1 is the last version that uses pkg_resources from the warnings.

Thanks!
