This PR:

• Migrates code to use native namespace packages similar to feat: Introduce compatibility with native namespace packages google-auth-library-python#1205. Also see https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/#native-namespace-packages
• Removes usage of pkg_resources to prepare for adding python 3.12 support
• Moves the version module to google/cloud/sqlalchemy_spanner

To obtain the version at runtime, use google.cloud.sqlalchemy_spanner.__version__

Hi @parthea,
The python-spanner-sqlalchemy presubmits are failing with below error after the latest 3.41.0 release of python-spanner,

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google.cloud.spanner_v1'

From my analysis below, it looks like this PR should be merged for the presubmits to not face this issue.

Analysis

1. I wrote a sample Python application with python-spanner 3.41.0 as dependency (Assuming python-spanner release is the issue), but the application did not face this import issue and was working perfectly.
2. This should be some issue with the python-spanner-sqlalchemy package setup. Analyzing more pointed out to this PR which is in draft stage. We did the same change in python-spanner in the latest release.
3. I checked out this PR on my local and ran presubmits. The above import issue was not seen. I think we should merge this PR to have similar package setup as python-spanner.

@harshachinta,

Please can you check if the issue is resolved with this PR which removes editable installations from tests? #383

There are limitations for editable installations, and this type of installation is still listed as experimental on pypa.io:
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/development_mode.html#limitations

We may be able to improve support for editable installations by switching to a src layout instead of a flat layout.
