Setup.py distutils.core no module

user@computer:~/git/jefferson$ sudo python3 setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 4, in
from distutils.core import setup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.core'

Successfully ran pip3 install -r requirements.txt but the setup.py spat out this error for this module. Shouldn't it try to install it from the requirements.txt as well?

The fix is to install distutils with apt install python3-distutils.

We will probably move to poetry and PyPi packaging in the near future so we will not edit requirements.txt or setup.py.
