🚀 Feature
In CPython 3.10 distutils was formally marked as deprecated and it will be removed from CPython in 3.12. To avoid complications, deprecate use of distutils moving forward in favor of using setuptools as recommended.
For Python 3.7+ (which should by default have pip v22.0.0+ and setuptools v57.5.0+) use:
setuptools._distutilsoverdistutils
Additional supporting advice given in:
- https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils-legacy.html
- https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/#migration-advice
Relevant for (nicely only!)
POT/ot/helpers/openmp_helpers.py
Line 12 in 1f7d547
Motivation
Use of
POT/ot/helpers/openmp_helpers.py
Line 12 in 1f7d547
fails in Python 3.12 given distutils is gone.
Pitch
Remove all use of distutils.
