Description
From #48 I will also note here that distutils is deprecated and is removed in python 3.12, so the [sysconfig](https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/sysconfig.html) module (available from python 3.2) should be loaded directly in the future.

Research direction
Start by tracing where the project loads or uses distutils, using issue #48 and the linked Python sysconfig documentation as context. Replace the deprecated loading path with direct sysconfig usage and verify that the affected functionality works on Python 3.12 without distutils.
