`pytest` produced Interrupted: 42 errors during collection

[denvercal1234GitHub]

Hi there,

I was able to install successfully spacec on M1, excluding installation for the GPU accelerated clustering and STELLAR machine learning-based cell annotation (ref: https://github.com/yuqiyuqitan/SPACEc/issues/47).

However, pytest kept producing error as below.

Seem to come from ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.tests'

Any pointers please?

Thank you for your help

Hi @denvercal1234GitHub , this might be a Mac-specific issue which I can't test on my end, unfortunately. Can you give the following a shot, please?

conda activate spacec
pip install distutils
