Example setup not working

[FatemeKhodayari]

Hi. The code within example_setup directory is not working neither in docker nor in normal setup. In both cases, it returns the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi! Not as a solution, but for the sake of running it locally, it works when you change from importlib_resources import path as _resource_path

to from importlib.resources import path as _resource_path

in your local saml2 files.

changing pysaml2 version in requirements.txt for both idp and sp to from 6.5.1 to 7.3.1 solved the issue for me
