-Subject: [PATCH] setup.py: use setuptools instead of distutils
-
-as distutils will be deprecated in python 3.12 and already produces
-a warning when run with python 3.10.x, it might be a good time to
-switch to setuptools.
-It offers the same interface, so results will be the same
-
-Signed-off-by: Konrad Weihmann <kweihmann@outlook.com>

-Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/ilanschnell/bitarray/commit/947d364841954d60bab7a4cf1497a272b1bf73ca]
