Update setup.py to accommodate Python3.13.0

[Shonas301]

Changes made

• Update setup.py to pass in a local dictionary to exec to capture the locals() in _version.py for package version reporting.

Motivation

• Python3.13.0 enforces stricter safety standards on locals() with PEP 667 (see here)

• This causes the following error upon attempting to install with python3.13 -m pip install openai-whisper:

EXTRA NOTES

• This does not enable openai-whisper to be pip installed with Python3.13, due to a dependency on the numba library. This issue and missing dependency can be tracked here

[cclauss]

Would it be a more intuitive and durable solution to replace the deprecated pkg_resources with packaging?

The error message contained

DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib.resources, importlib.metadata and their backports (importlib_resources, importlib_metadata). Some useful APIs are also provided by packaging (e.g. requirements and version parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work to port to importlib-based solutions.

Any luck with this?

[cav71]

Yes, #2435 merge would be great! But there's an issue with numba <-> llvmlite

Problem is on Python version 3.13.1

@yakovlevway Does this merely repeat what is in the commit message above or is it different?

This is a different error, it looks it is missing __version__ somewhere in the source files.

#2435 (comment) might still be a problem although their release candidates now seem to support Python 3.13... https://pypi.org/project/numba/0.60.0/#history

[jongwook]

thanks all for reporting compatibility issues with 3.13. this PR was closed automatically by #2435. Hoping their upcoming release can fix the remaining compat issue!

[cclauss]

Nice progress… It would be great to have some pull requests that contain tests that fail because of the remaining compatibility issues. When they pass we would have confidence to make the next release. These tests would also help to avoid future regressions.

[cclauss]

Python 3.13 is blocked by both numba and triton.
