Deprecate distutils_hack and support for 'import distutils' before 'import setuptools'

Open jaraco opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

With the release of Python 3.12 without distutils in the stdlib, it's now a good time to consider dropping support for import distutils and all reliance of distutils from the stdlib (i.e. SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib). Let's start by deprecating that code path.
