Multiple errors while installing requirements

[AlexeyArtemev]

System info

OS: Windows 11 10.0.22631 Python v.: 3.12.4

Issue

The following errors are being thrown when installing requirements:

ERROR: Ignored the following versions that require a different python version: 0.55.2 Requires-Python <3.5
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-docx2txt==0.8 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for python-docx2txt==0.8

Expected behaviour

pip install -r requirements.txt completing without errors

I'd like to add that it might be a good idea to create a ready-to-use package using python-embed(see more at https://stackoverflow.com/a/77268297) and distribute it via huggingface leaving a link to it in this repo(examples: 1, 2)

The python-docx2txt is named just docx2txt in pip. After changing this dep in requirements.txt i've encountered another error:

Building wheels for collected packages: faiss-cpu
  Building wheel for faiss-cpu (pyproject.toml) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

      error: command 'swig.exe' failed: None
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for faiss-cpu
Failed to build faiss-cpu
ERROR: ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (faiss-cpu)

According to stackoverflow, the issue lies in the python ver, so the project won't run on python 3.12 and newer unless faiss-cpu is updated to run on it

UPD: the exe missing can be solved by installing swig(swigwin in my case) and adding the installation path to PATH variable, yet pip install -r requirements.txt still throws errors, still related to building wheel for faiss-cpu, all about missing .h files for faiss

System info OS: Windows 11 Python v.: 3.12.4

first of all, i ran this in virtualenv

changing python-docx2txt to docx2txt pip install textract(in my case) download swig.exe and set PATH

change faiss-cpu version to faiss-cpu==1.8.0.post1

THEN it will run on windows 11(atleast in my case)

Leaving this open so people can have a solution for issues they're facing on non Mac OS machines. I'll eventually get round to releasing a patch to fix it.
