Installation Issues on Python 3.13

Prerequisites

Please answer the following questions for yourself before submitting an issue.

• I am using the latest TensorFlow Model Garden release and TensorFlow 2.
• I am reporting the issue to the correct repository. (Model Garden official or research directory)
• I checked to make sure that this issue has not been filed already.

1. Describe the bug

I cannot install this package, whether it be through pip or the wheel. The wheel requires some dependencies that appear to not support Python 3.13 (despite the Model Garden claiming to support Python 3.13) and pip has a SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: License classifiers are deprecated thrown that ends the entire installation procedure.

2. Steps to reproduce

Run pip install tf-models-official or pip install tf_models_official-2.19.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (the latter after downloading the wheel from PyPI)

3. Expected behavior

I expected the TensorFlow Model Garden package to install.

4. Additional context

Using pip install tf-models-official:

Using pip install tf_models_official-2.19.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl:
