Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-12068:
-----------------------------------------------
We have some different use cases of distutils right now:
- {{distutils.sysconfig}} -> can be replaced with {{sysconfig}} stdlib module
(although in we also use {{get_python_inc}} and {{get_python_lib}} in eg
FindPythonLibsNew.cmake, which don't have a 1:1 alternative, I think)
- {{distutils.util.strtobool}} -> need to implement ourselves
- {{distutils.command.clean}} / {{distutils.core.setup}} -> setuptools
- {{distutils.version.LooseVersion}} -> the alternative here is the
{{packaging}} package. But do we want to add that as a new dependency?
