Problem when trying to run main.py

[SwB15]

Hello, to be honest... this is the first time I'm using python and I have an error that I can't solve, apparently it's simple but not for me.

This is the error that appears to me, that it does not find the distutils, I already reinstalled python and vscode, I downloaded another vscode 2022 or something like that and nothing helps to solve this problem, PS C:\Users\User\Desktop\google-maps-scraper-master> python main.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\google-maps-scraper-master\main.py", line 1, in <module> from bose.launch_tasks import launch_tasks File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\bose\__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from .base_task import BaseTask File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\bose\base_task.py", line 3, in <module> from joblib import Parallel, delayed File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\joblib\__init__.py", line 113, in <module> from .memory import Memory, MemorizedResult, register_store_backend File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\joblib\memory.py", line 32, in <module> from ._store_backends import StoreBackendBase, FileSystemStoreBackend File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\joblib\_store_backends.py", line 15, in <module> from .backports import concurrency_safe_rename File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\joblib\backports.py", line 22, in <module> import distutils # noqa ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

Run python -m pip install distutils to install missing module.

Alternatively, if you are facing issues with Python installation, then you can run it in Gitpod, a cloud-based browser IDE, as follows:

1. Open Repository in Gitpod by visiting here and signing up with GitHub.
   

2. In the terminal, run docker-compose build && docker-compose up.

3. Find the leads in the output folder.

Same as you, i've been struggle enough but then figuring out what was happened. This problem are related to the incompatibilty of joblib dependency with the newest version of python3.12 which deprecate and remove distutils from it's package manager system, in other words there is no disutils modules anymore.

I found the simplest practical solution just with upgrading your joblib dependency with this script pip install --upgrade joblib inside your terminal then run python main.py
