Bug Summary

The distutils package is being deprecated from the standard library in python. We get a warning message from the import sanity test outlining the timeline as well as where we can look for replacements.

ERROR: plugins/modules/workflow_launch.py:93:0: traceback: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives (at plugins/module_utils/controller_api.py:14:0)

We have a few options to move to but wanted to open an issue to start the discussion. These errors will be suppressed going forward for the time being by the ignore file entries added in #13238 once that is merged.
