The solution of error: "cannot import name 'packaging' from 'pkg_resources'"

[huangkun1985]

For error: "cannot import name 'packaging' from 'pkg_resources'"

The solution: Ensure that Python 3.12 or lower is installed with a comfy UI portable. Then go inside ComfyUI_windows_portable\python_embeded folder and run this command.

python.exe -m pip install setuptools==65.5.1

A comfy update installs setuptools-70.0.0, you need to downgrade for it to work.
