DistributionNotFound error potentially caused by pkg_resources #482
Description
Hi,
I posted a similar issue in the bigquery project (googleapis/python-bigquery#1307) but decided I should also post it here since this is the package causing issues.
When using this package on my local machine I have no issues, however when deploying to our serverless environment in an AWS lambda we get the error seen at the bottom of this issue.
We have tried numerous changes, such as using the same version of pip being used locally, and disabling slim in the serverless python requirements, but the issue is still happening. Locally we use poetry to install packages.
When looking at the error message, the issue seems to be around pkg_resources, and from looking at other google packages I can see similar issues have been encountered and resolved around this. Is it possible to do something similar here? We are currently blocked from using this package until this issue is resolved.

I managed to create a fix for this in my own fork of python-bigquery-storage as seen in this commit.
Would we be able to make a similar change in the main fork? If so I can create a pull request if the change is fine as is, otherwise it'd be great to have this implemented properly so we can go back to using the main version.

@dionearle blocked by the same issue, I have raised #531 which is similar to what other google libraries have done.
