[issue41282] Deprecate and remove distutils

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

That PR is just to add the import warning and update docs. I want to make sure that's in asap so we don't miss the release.

Is there anywhere else in the docs that needs a note? Distutils has been marked as deprecated for years already, so it's really just emphasising that and adding the 3.12 removal date. I think whatsnew, library and the old doc sections is enough, yeah?
