> Can you clarify the part where you said that `BaseError` is using "DistutilsError under the hood, even though `DistutilsError` is being deprecated? > > And what was the takeaway from testing the `setuptools` versions (where I was able to run `from setuptools.errors import DistutilsError` in setuptools versions is 49.2.1, 59.6.0, 60.8.1, but not for 62.0.0 or 62.1.0)? Was it to ensure overlapping coverage as we transition to `BaseError`? According to [PEP632](https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/#:~:text=Table%20of%20Contents-,Abstract,-The%20distutils%20module), setuptools has integrated a complete copy of the `distutils` from version [60.0.0](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils-legacy.html). From this [release](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/9288c6f3f039bf51f997a99ae8766ed02ed92cda/setuptools/errors.py#L40), `BaseError` is defined to `BaseError = _distutils.DistutilsError` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
