Updating Workflows to Fix Missing pkg_resources

[ericspod]

Description

This updates the workflow files to fix changes to setuptools which drops support for pkg_resources but also removes the package from PyPI. With the --no-build-isolation flag added to pip, the version of setuptools in the installing environment is used, rather than a new one being installed in an isolated one which will be too new and fail when pkg_resources is found missing.

See Project-MONAI/MONAI#8536.

Checks

• Avoid including large-size files in the PR.
• Clean up long text outputs from code cells in the notebook.
• For security purposes, please check the contents and remove any sensitive info such as user names and private key.
• Ensure (1) hyperlinks and markdown anchors are working (2) use relative paths for tutorial repo files (3) put figure and graphs in the ./figure folder
• Notebook runs automatically ./runner.sh -t <path to .ipynb file>

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated CI workflows to newer action versions and upgraded Python runtime to 3.10
  • Simplified and consolidated dependency caching into a unified pip cache, removing legacy timestamp caching
  • Streamlined dependency installation and test/lint invocations (including upgraded packaging tooling and adjustments to build isolation) for more consistent and reliable CI runs

Walkthrough

Multiple GitHub Actions workflows updated: actions/checkout and actions/setup-python bumped to v6, Python target bumped to 3.10, caching simplified to cache: 'pip', and dependency installation lines adjusted (added wheel-stub, removed remote dev requirements, some --no-build-isolation usage and minor command form changes).

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
CI workflows .github/workflows/copyright.yml, .github/workflows/guidelines.yml, .github/workflows/pep8.yml, .github/workflows/test-modified.yml	Updated actions/checkout and actions/setup-python to v6 and Python to 3.10; replaced legacy timestamp/multi-step caching with cache: 'pip'; consolidated dependency install steps to use pip, added wheel-stub, removed remote requirements-dev.txt installs in places, and adjusted --no-build-isolation usage and minor command forms (e.g., python -m pip → pip).

Poem

🐰🥕 I hopped through YAML, tidy and bright,
Bumped versions, trimmed caches, set Python right,
Wheel-stub tucked in, pip dances in line,
CI carrots gleam — short, clean, and fine,
A little rabbit cheers the green light.

✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title accurately describes the main purpose of the changes: updating workflows to resolve the missing pkg_resources issue caused by setuptools changes.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Merge Conflict Detection	✅ Passed	✅ No merge conflicts detected when merging into main
Description check	✅ Passed	The pull request description includes a clear explanation of the changes and references the upstream issue, but uses the unchecked checklist format rather than explicitly confirming checks.
