Python 3.13.0

The installation issue might be due to incompatibility between Python 3.13 and the numpy build process, specifically the absence of the distutils module, which has been removed from the standard library starting Python 3.12.

You should create a new python or conda env and use Python 3.9–3.11 for best compatibility —
the latest stable version that supports distutils and is compatible with most packages like numpy, tensorflow, and older FaceNet-based codebases is Python 3.11.
