Update README.md to add a note regarding the need to pip install setuptools for python 3.12 and later. The removal of distutils from the standard library in 3.12 and later otherwise breaks the build.py script.

| * Disable the `python3.exe` and `python.exe` aliases in `Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases`. They will typically be referred to as "App Installer". See [this question on stackoverflow.com](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57485491/python-python3-executes-in-command-prompt-but-does-not-run-correctly) to understand why. | ||
| * Ensure that your Python directory either has a copy of Python named "python3.exe" or a symlink linking to the Python executable. | ||
| * The `httplib2` module. This can be installed using `pip install`. | ||
| * For Python 3.12 and later: the build.py script relies on distutils, which is removed from the standard library in 3.12. It is now provided by the setuptools library. Install it via `pip install setuptools`. |
