to the labscript suite
We successfully installed labscript on one lab computer some months ago. Today we tried to (anaconda) developer install labscript on a new computer (following these instructions
Developer installation (Anaconda Cloud) — labscript suite | the labscript suite ) and we got this error.

apologies, I just realized the post got sent before I had finished. Here the full post:
Windows 10
We successfully installed labscript on one lab computer some months ago. Today we tried to (anaconda) developer install labscript on a new computer (following these instructions Developer installation (Anaconda Cloud) — labscript suite | the labscript suite ) and we got this error.
(see below, a double import! error on distutils ) After what looks like a successful install, the error shows up when we start runmanager or blacs.
The first time we installed and tried to run labscript, we were using a slightly out of date labscript fork. Since the one of the only references to distutils we could find was the recent removal of distutils (https://github.com/labscript-suite/labscript-utils/pull/86 ), we updated our forked repository to the latest labscript master build, and repeated the process ( creating a new python environment, cloning our (newly updated) labscript repository, and installing labscript) and surprisingly we got the same error. I suspect a git problem, but didnt' have time to investigate.
I thought I'd ask the crowd and maybe save some time... any thoughts?
Windows 10
Cheers,
Trey

UPDATE:
doing the entire install procedure ( new python environment, clone repository, install labscript ) gives the same error on my mac OS ...
I'''m at a loss

I am traveling so I can’t be as helpful as I would like, but this results from a recent change in python itself in distutils. My workaround goes as follows:
Open up the double import double_import_denier.py file and look for a hard coded white list of packages, say it WHITELIST = […] (it includes tensor flow). Don’t change it, just note it.
Then right at the beginning of your script import double_import_denier and then do double_import_denier.WHITELIST.append('distutils')
This may not be exact since I don’t have the script handy, but this (or something morally equivalent) did the trick without modifying labscrtipt.

Hi Ian,
Thank you for the quick response... when you say:
Then right at the beginning of your script import double_import_denier and then do double_import_denier.WHITELIST.append('distutils')
which file is "your script" ?
thanks,
Trey

Ugh. This stupid thing again. The whole point of
https://github.com/labscript-suite/labscript-utils/pull/86 was to prevent this exact problem, so it's a bit annoying that it is still present. What Ian says will definitely work to get around this.
But if you didn't mind doing a little digging, I'd be very curious to know what your local `labscript_utils.ls_process.py` file says for line 16. If it's properly up to date with master, it should read `from packaging.version import Version` instead of `from distutils.version import LooseVersion`. If it says the latter, I suspect the linked PR didn't get applied properly to your fork.

HI David,
I believe in the end it was a git problem on my end: the repository I was cloning was not the version of labscriipt that I thought it was, and my inexperience with git contributed to my failing to get it merged with the lab script-suite master. After some time, a wiser me has brought our labscript-suite fork up to date, and at least on my mac, a fresh install works. I’ll try it on the lab PC’s when I get in.
APPARENTLY SOLVED
thanks,
Trey

I totally understand. Git still gets the better of me on a pretty regular basis. Glad you are sorted out. Nothing's worse than getting things installed only to have a bug prevent you from even starting things.
Best,
