Thanks for uploading this change. Could you elaborate on the specific Python version that needs `distutils` support? According to https://pypi.org/project/packaging/, `packaging` supports Python 3.8 and above. I'm surprised that there is still need to support older versions of Python. Thanks.

I think for users who encounter this issue, it may not necessarily be that their Python version is too low to support packing, but rather that they haven't installed packing.

The packaging module requirement is breaking webrtc and v8 when rolling chromium dependencies. See https://ci.chromium.org/ui/p/webrtc/builders/try/android_arm64_rel/88321/overview for an example.
We're supposed to have more or less the same python environment as chromium. I don't know where we're meant to get the packaging module.
