Just leaving a comment to keep me in the loop, as this PR and #326321 are essentially targeting the same issue.

What about using a distutils package from PyPI on Python 3.12? #328379

[kfollesdal]

We can also consider to fix setuptools to behave as expected by adding the following lines to setuptools:

postInstall = ''
  ln -s $out/${python.sitePackages}/setuptools/_distutils  $out/${python.sitePackages}/distutils
 '';

But will give mass rebuild, but solve build problems for other python packages and avoid problems/confusion.

Will make a PR, that can be evaluated.
