[New-bugs-announce] [issue43426] test_importlib.test_windows emits deprecation warning over usage of distutils

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi at gmail.com>:

test_windows uses distutil which emits a deprecation warning due to distutils being deprecated. sysconfig.get_platform and distutils.util.get_host_platform seem to be identical though distutils.util.get_platform has an extra if clause for nt systems. This is related to https://bugs.python.org/issue41282
