Yes. Even if the goal is to have distutils2 in the stdlib for 3.2 or
3.3, there will still be a standalone release on PyPI for Python
2.4-3.1. You’ll just have to write such compat code:
try:
from pkgutil import shiny_new_function
except ImportError:
from distutils2._backport.pkgutil import shiny_new_function
