Why do so many #CircuitPython libraries (often used in examples) contain nothing but a requirements.txt file?

Downloading the circuitpython 9.0 bundle shows many libraries are empty, causing tons of their beginner examples to fail.

it seems really confusing to distribute empty library folders?

@skickar You are looking in the requirements folder in the .zip file, which contains only requirements and pyproject.toml files. Look in the lib folder instead.

Note there that some libraries are in folders, and some are single .mpy files. For instance, adafruit_st7789.mpy is a single file and does not have a folder in lib/
