While trying to spawn the devcontainer in VSCode and Codespace, I encountered an error during the build process related to the missing
distutils
package for some reason.After investigating further,
I discovered that the build tool failed to read the configuration from the(after have another look this file is for conda to use but the build doesn't use conda at all) it was using a base Python version higher than 3.10, which is deprecated and no longer includes the distutils package as outlined in PEP-632 . Also, some packages already included in the container image..devcontainer/environment.yml
file.This pull request addresses this issue by removing some dependencies instead and add rust compiler to satisfy tiktoken requirement.
Please have a look.
EDIT: change the approach since I couldn't reproduce the build anymore.
