Description

IMPALA-9718 removed pkg_resources as it wasn't compatible with Python 3. However the pkg_resources class from setuptools is still required, so this caused an ease-of-use regression for the shell tarball as it now has an external dependency on setuptools.

Restore pkg_resources to the shell tarball only when using Python 2.
