ARROW-12068: [Python] Stop using distutils

pitrou · pitrou · commit aa9ec21cafd8 · 2021-04-01T15:30:12.000+02:00
According to PEP 632, distutils will be deprecated in Python 3.10 and removed in 3.12. * switch to `setuptools` for general packaging * use the `Version` class from the `packaging` project instead of `distutils.LooseVersion` Closes apache#9849 from pitrou/ARROW-12068-remove-distutils Authored-by: Antoine Pitrou <antoine@python.org> Signed-off-by: Antoine Pitrou <antoine@python.org>
