No module named 'distutils.util'

Trying to run the script i get the following error:

$ python3 generate.py                       
Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                                        
File "generate.py", line 15, in <module>                                                                                  
from modules import datafile, header                                                                                  
File "pathremovedforprivacy/header.py", line 3, in <module>                                 
from distutils.util import strtobool
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.util'

This happens no matter what i try. python3 generate.py --version returns the same.

1.7.0 works fine, but anything newer doesn't. Tested on both a debian install and on WSL on windows 10 (where 1.7.0 works fine). Am i just missing something obvious? Also tried extracting to a new directory just to test that i did not mix the different versions of the script.

Any help is appreciated :)

Ah, yes. Maybe that's not installed by default on every distro out there.

I'm gonna remove the dependency and just make my own parser then.

Thanks for the info, and for making such and awesome tool available! 🙂

Thanks, and sorry for breaking it. I really try hard not to :/

I'll take care of it this weekend

No stress :) Take your time! Change management sure is the no. 1 enemy of IT in general :P

This should be resolved if you download the files from this repository now Let me know if it somehow still doesn't work for you
