Library package not compatible with Python 3.12 - distutils

[Saxos-Simone]

Symptom

Hi, trying to run a Python script that imports the connect function:

from interbase import connect

I receive the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

And the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "...\plugins\python-ce\helpers\pydev\pydevd.py", line 1527, in _exec
    pydev_imports.execfile(file, globals, locals)  # execute the script
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "...\plugins\python-ce\helpers\pydev\_pydev_imps\_pydev_execfile.py", line 18, in execfile
    exec(compile(contents+"\n", file, 'exec'), glob, loc)
  File "...\main.py", line 4, in <module>
    from interbase import connect
  File "...\Lib\site-packages\interbase\__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
    from interbase.ibcore import *
  File "...\Lib\site-packages\interbase\ibcore.py", line 41, in <module>
    from distutils import util

Cause

I believe the cause of the problem is that the distutils module was deprecated and removed in Python 3.12.

As you can read in the official documentation
