Debug

Known issues

deprecateddistutils is deprecated since Python 3.10 and removed in 3.12. standard-distutils exists only for legacy compatibility and will receive no updates.

fix

Replace all distutils usage with setuptools or packaging.

affects: >=3.10

gotchaInstalling standard-distutils does not make distutils importable by itself. The package is a compatibility shim distributed via pip but the import path remains 'distutils' only if Python's site-packages shim is present.

fix

Do not rely on standard-distutils for new projects. Use setuptools instead.

affects: all

breakingPython 3.12+ does not include distutils in the standard library. Code using distutils will raise ImportError unless setuptools provides a backport.

fix

Replace 'from distutils import ...' with 'from setuptools import ...' or 'from packaging import ...'.

affects: 3.12+
