check-missing-requirements hook fails for python 3.12.4

[RobFirth]

Running pre-commit hooks gives the following error in python 3.12.4:

Check for missing requirements from the environment.......................Failed
- hook id: check-missing-requirements
- exit code: 1

ensuring setuptools is specified as a dependency in the project python environment solves this issue.

Interestingly, the same error can be resolved for nbdev using the additional_dependencies option:

    - repo: https://github.com/fastai/nbdev
      rev: 2.3.25
      hooks:
      - id: nbdev_clean
        additional_dependencies: [setuptools]
