It looks like an entry_points.txt in your setup is corrupted. It should look more similar to this: cat /srv/virtualenvs/AUTOMATIC1111-stable-diffusion-webui/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gradio-3.9.dist-info/entry_points.txt

[console_scripts]
gradio = gradio.reload:run_in_reload_mode

If it contains all zeroes, that is indeed unexpected.

I have no idea how that might have happened.

With a fresh re-install using github desktop I now get this error.

same, I'm getting the "AttributeError: module 'h11' has no attribute 'Event'" error

You NEED to be using Python v3.10.x (recommended is 3.10.6). Some dependencies break with all other major versions.

Thank you for pointing that out skdursh. It's been a while since I'd first installed this and I forgot to check the troubleshooting section. I had installed a more recent python version already, but I don't think I'd set it to PATH, and I hadn't yet tried re-installing my copy of webui by deleting \repositories and \venv, which was, I think, causing it to stay stuck on the old 3.9 python setup.

I've got it running now.
