Review Comment:
   So the `distutils` is present in two places. Python standard library and 
also in setuptools. `setuptools` adopted stdlib implementation of `distutils` 
and the `stdlib distutils` is marked for deprecation  in Python 3.10 and 
removal for Python 3.12.
   
   Now, in order to use `distutils`, we can just import `setuptools`, which 
implicitly imports its version of `distutils`. As of now, there are two 
versions of `distutils`, it is recommended to import `distutils` after 
`setuptools`.
   
   I read a bit and found the information above. Now we don't need the 
`BaseError` which requires `setuptools>=60.0.0`. We just need to reorder the 
imports wrt `setuptools` and `distutils`.
