Fix/1349

Closes#1349

Distutils is removed in Py3.12, so we have to rely on external packages.
packaging is already a dependency of one of our dependencies, so it doesn't add to the stack (though I made it implicit, in case the dependency chain gets broken at some point for some reason).

There are unfortunately minor server issues after all. They didn't happen earlier in the week in a local test, currently don't have the internet connection bandwidth to track it down (travelling). But looking at the failures, they can't be related to the PR.

Not super familiar with this domain of Python but from a quick read it seems mostly superficial in terms of changes and didn't spot anything off
