[New-bugs-announce] [issue46118] Migrate importlib.resources into a package

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com>:

The importlib.resources module has several modules on which it relies (_adapters, _legacy, simple) and some classes in other modules shared by other parts of importlib (namely abc).

Because these implementations overlap, it adds difficulty in maintaining the `importlib_resources` backport, which must maintain these modules but keep them separate from the unrelated functionality in other parts of importlib.

In an earlier refactoring, `importlib.metadata` was refactored into its own package (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/25565). This refactoring had benefits of making it clearer which functionality of importlib was related to metadata and which was not.

I'd like to do the same for importlib.resources.
