1753683 - refactor python distutils usage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, task)

Description

[Rob Lemley [:rjl]]

DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives

Used in:

• taskcluster/comm_taskgraph/init.py
• python/thirdroc/thirdroc/rnp.py

Both cases are distutils.StrictVersion. The vendored "packaging" package is contains the replacement suggested by the PEP.

I suggest to uplift this to esr102, it's a dependency for the RNP v0.16.2 uplifts, avoids merge issues.
Any concerns?

Should be okay. The "packaging" Python library is in m-e102:third_party/python/packaging just as it is on m-c.
