Issue: Python 3.11+ Incompatibility with cyml

Problem

cyml fails with DistributionNotFound or ModuleNotFoundError (importlib.metadata) on recent Python versions due to deprecated pkg_resources and breaking changes in the internal metadata API.

Solution

Use a dedicated Python 3.9 environment to ensure compatibility with pycropml and openalea dependencies.

Bash

conda create -n cyml_env python=3.9
conda activate cyml_env 
pip install pandas
