bug: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

Really neat looking project!

I went to try it out and hit the following error when trying to run gradio:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Ah, it looks like your requirements.txt is missing setuptools, after installing setuptools gradio states it's launched but throws an error:

Downgrading gradio to a really old version (gradio==3.41.2) works around the problem but that doesn't seem quite right 🤔

Hey!! Thanks for checking this out and raising the issue! The easiest way to avoid the distuls error is to use the latest Gradio version and launch the app with 'python app.py' instead of 'gradio app.py'. For some reason the reload and watch feature that comes with using the gradio flag instead of python for launching can not work do to the conda env. I usually run it with gradio app.py while development but it will work perfectly fine when launched the traditional python way

Hope that helps solve the issue! Everything should be pretty straightforward since it's the Microsoft graphrag repo with the extra gradio UI layered on top. Let me know if you're still encountering issues

Oh that's interesting, thanks for your response, nice work on the app!
