Add Python 3.12 to build matrix, Remove usage of deprecated distutils #2458

Closed timkpaine closed 6 months ago

timkpaine commented 10 months ago

This PR prepares perspective for Python 3.12, where distutils has been removed. For our build steps, we now use the vendored distutils inside setuptools, with setuptools pinned to the version currently locked in CI to prevent future breakages. For the one minimal runtime usage, we provide a strtobool function (our usage of this function from distutils was very leftpad-y 😄 ).

fixes #2457
