Old / deprecated dependencies - wont run on Ubuntu 24 or 26

[tomarquardt]

When following installation instructions, even server testing fails.

bin/tools/switchmap_poller_test.py --hostname HOSTNAME

returns pkg_resources doesn't exist.
pkg_resources was deprecated and removed from python since setuptools version 81.0.0
Even when forcing version 80.x.x to be used, other errors appear:

AttributeError: module 'ast' has no attribute 'Str'

The Str in ast was deprecated in python3.8 and removed completely in 3.14.

The requirements.txt also seems to lock this into old versions of flask and other prerequisites.

Is switchmap-ng still being maintained?
