I realize these are autotools files, but they are somehow getting pulled
into the CMake build process. The spec file for the Fedora build is
still using CMake, the build was failing because of an attempt to use
distutils rather than setuptools, and the only places where distutils
was mentioned was in Python scripts embedded into the Autotools files.
Patching them fixed the problem, so I assume the CMake builds must be
using those files to generate the Python scripts for installing the
Python bindings.
I realize now that my patch was against the 1.9.0 tarball, not against
the latest SVN revision (why I didn't think to do it against the SVN
repo, I don't know, but I didn't). The patch doesn't apply for me either
so scrap this one and I'll submit a new one against the head of SVN.
Sorry about that.

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

File to patch:
Furthermore, it looks like you are patching the autotools build
system, which is not supported in the Python and Perl bindings. Those
are only supported building through the CMake files. At least, they
aren't supported by me as I don't go near autotools, and last I knew I
was the only one working in the Swig bindings.
I don't know why your patch is failing to apply, as I don't believe
there should be any drift in those Makefiles. I'd be happy to try
again if you have any advice as to why the patch is not applying.

Good morning/evening, and thanks for your time.
As distutils has been deprecated and finally removed in Python 3.12,
SWORD is unable to build in Fedora without the following patch.
The patch:
* Replaces all references to distutils with their setuptools
equivalents.
* Modifies the build system to allow specifying a new CMake argument,
"SWORD_PYTHON_INSTALL_ROOT", which allows setting the installation
path
for the Python bindings without generating a Python egg. (This is
necessary since Python eggs have been deprecated as well and will
likely
be removed later. See
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3143 -
specifying both a --root and a --prefix to the setup.py scripts
seems to
work around this issue.)

Thanks for your consideration, and have a blessed day!

(P.S. - the reason this appears to be a Git patch is because I
used Git
to let me generate a multi-file patch more easily. I realize SWORD
uses
SVN, sorry if this looks confusing.)
