setup.py

"""  
@Note:- 
1. cx_Freeze 7.2.4 has compatibilty issues with python 3.13.0 so I used python 3.12.5 which works well with cx_Freeze 7.2.4
2. If you face this issue too then just uninstall python 3.13.0 and install python 3.12.5

@Note:- To create .exe file from .py file, follow these steps:
        step-1: Do the necessary changes mentioned in the comments in this setup.py file only
        step-2: Open powershell or cmd in your ML project folder and run the follwoing command:
                python setup.py build
