[issue9313] distutils error on MSVC older than 8

Looks excellent, just import the function at the module scope instead of function scope (I’ve heard about import deadlock issues, and performance is not an issue in tests, so there is no reason to import in the function).

Please backport to 3.1 and 2.7 if the bug applies to them.
