Reduce use of deprecated `distutils` module #353

Closed jakelishman closed 11 months ago

jakelishman commented 11 months ago

Per PEP 632, distutils is deprecated and most uses of it can be replaced by setuptools. The only use within testtools is to support the deprecated TestCommand that's due to be removed in the next major, but in the meantime, adding a runtime dependency on setuptools for Python 3.12+ (which removed distutils entirely) allows it to continue working.

Fix #352.
