Errors you may encounter

• ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'
  • The error indicates that Python is unable to find the distutils module, which is essential for package installation and management. This issue often arises due to changes in Python versions or environment configurations.
    • distutils is now part of the setuptools package. Try updating setuptools to the latest version by run the following command:
      pip install --upgrade setuptools
• AttributeError: module 'pkgutil' has no attribute 'ImpImporter'. Did you mean: 'zipimporter'?

  • This error points to an inconsistency or potential issue with the pkgutil module, another standard library module used for package management.

  • Option 1: Upgrade pip
    python -m pip install --upgrade pip

  • Option 2: These packages are fundamental for Python package management. Try reinstalling them:
    python -m pip install --force-reinstall setuptools wheel

    • now re-install the dependencies again with:
      pip install -r requirements.txt

If the problem persists, try out different versions of dependencies in the requirements.txt file or install the dependencies manually.
