Python 3.12 not supported because of 'distutils' removal

[techware01]

Currently friTap is not working when using Python 3.12.

When running it I get the following error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

This seems to be due to removal of the former, but now deprecated standard module distutilsin python 3.12 (See relase-notes).

For now a workaround that worked for me, is to manually install setuptools, which also provides 'distutils'. Following the suggestion on Stackoverflow:

$ pip3 install setuptools

Any plans on porting friTap to Python 3.12?

Hi,

this should at least not be an issue in the latest version of friTap (version 1.1.1.0).

As you can see, no setuptools is installed but friTap was installed.
