Environment

Python version: 3.10.12
Nautobot version: 2.2.8
nautobot-ssot version: 2.7.0

Expected Behavior

Running the Arista CloudVision --> Nautobot job should be able to complete

Observed Behavior

The job errors out due to distutils module error.

AttributeError: module 'distutils' has no attribute 'util'

Steps to Reproduce

Launch the job, wait for the error

Possible fix

As distutils is depricated, PEP 632 I was able to get around the issue by patching my file nautobot_ssot/integrations/aristacv/diffsync/adapters/cloudvision.py

I added python package str2bool, imported to the file from str2bool import str2bool and changed instances of tag["value"] = bool(distutils.util.strtobool(tag["value"])) to tag["value"] = str2bool(tag["value"])

I see the same logic exists in nautobot_ssot/integrations/aristacv/diffsync/models/nautobot.py but don't know what impact this file has.

@jdrew82 Yes, it looks to still occur with 3.0.0.
