Bug summary

Hello,

When running a Prefect flow i get the error ModuleNotFoundError: no module named 'distutils' coming from the prefect_gitlab.GitLabCrdentials function.

I have seen that the 3.0.0rc2 gets rid of this dependency but would like to ask if its plan for v2.

Reproduction

gitlab_credentials = prefect_gitlab.GitLabCredentials(
     token=args.access_token, url=args.gitlab_url
)

Hi thanks for filing this issue! disutils from the stdlib was deprecated in python3.10 and removed in python3.12. Unfortunately prefect-gitlab==0.2.5 does not support python3.12.

You could either use a lower python version or upgrade prefect-gitlab to it's current pre-release which does work with python3.12. At this time we are unlikely to release another 2.x version of that package.
