See:

• https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/#migration-advice

• https://docs.python.org/3.11/distutils/

  The entire distutils package has been deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.12

• https://docs.python.org/3.12/distutils/ (empty page, now lives at https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils/ )

Since pywin32 already imports setuptools, the module will still be found with Python 3.12, but falls in the "deprecated" category.

Exe installers support will need to be dropped to completely stop using distutils directly. See https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/1939
