Hi Amaan1232344234,

Thanks for reaching out.

This error happens because your Python version is not a compatible version with OpenVINO 2023.2. Only Python 3.8 - 3.11 is the supported version for OpenVINO. You may refer to this Install OpenVINO™ Development Tools and Operating systems and developer environment.

Regards,

Aznie
