<title>find_fit issues a deprecation warning starting with SageMath 10.2

[dhousman13]

Steps To Reproduce

In a Jupyter notebook using SageMath 10.2 or 10.4, run the following code:

#store the data
xdata = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
ydata = [5, 0, -11, -22, -27, -20, 5, 54, 133]
data = list(zip(xdata,ydata))

#find a best fit model to the data
var('a b c x')
model(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
best_parameters = find_fit(data, model, solution_dict=True)

Expected Behavior

No output.

Actual Behavior

The following message appears:

/ext/sage/10.4/local/var/lib/sage/venv-python3.12.4/lib/python3.12/site-packages/scikits/init.py:1: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
import("pkg_resources").declare_namespace(name)
/ext/sage/10.4/local/var/lib/sage/venv-python3.12.4/lib/python3.12/site-packages/scikits/init.py:1: DeprecationWarning: Deprecated call to pkg_resources.declare_namespace('scikits').
Implementing implicit namespace packages (as specified in PEP 420) is preferred to pkg_resources.declare_namespace. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/references/keywords.html#keyword-namespace-packages
import("pkg_resources").declare_namespace(name)

Additional Information

The deprecation warning does not appear in SageMath 10.0, 10.1, and in some 9.x version I had used previously. The warning does appear in SageMath 10.2 and 10.4. The find_fit function does appear to work properly in SageMath 10.4 despite the warning.

Environment

• OS: Windows in Firefox browswer
