Description Ryan Reno 2023-03-20 11:54:42 PDT 
setuptools made some changes regarding distutils for version 60. By adding the environment variable `SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib` setuptools will use the standard library version of distutils and succeed building webkitcorepy. Otherwise, it will fail an assertion with a stack trace similar to this:

We'll need to take this into account when we bump our setuptools requirement.

Specifically: we should drop our usage of distuils, given it's deprecated and going away.

Ryan: what entrypoint were you using such that you hit this?
