Sonoma 14.4.1 - Python 3.12 - Running whisper_mic returns errors

[Golffies]

Hi Blake,
Here is my environment:

MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1
XCode Command Line Tools 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388
Python 3.12.2
portaudio 19.7.0 (installed with brew)
whisper_mic 1.4.2

Here is the output I get when I run the application:

% ~/opt/dictee/bin/whisper_mic --model medium

Maybe it is just that your code is not yet ready for Python 3.12?
Thanks a lot for providing us with whisper-mic.

what happens when you run:

pip install distutils

Looking at the stack trace, this seems to be an issue with the speech recognition library.
