Irit Katriel <iritkatriel@gmail.com> added the comment: The legacy doc has this message in it now, so I think we can close this issue and trust Steve to deal with it along with the rest of distutils. The entire ``distutils`` package has been deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.12. This documentation is retained as a reference only, and will be removed with the package. See the :ref:`What's New <distutils-deprecated>` entry for more information. ---------- nosy: +iritkatriel, steve.dower resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24124> _______________________________________
