Deprecate distutils

[maltfield]

This ticket will track the effort to deprecate BusKill from using distutils

Why?

I first noticed an issue with installing BusKill on Mint here:

• ModuleNotFoundErrorr: No module named 'distutils' (apt install on Mint) #104

It turns out that we were missing a dependency. While this can be fixed fairly trivially by installing the dependency, @fmarier pointed-out that [distutils has been phased-out since 2014.

Solution

PEP 632 provides advice for how to remove it from your software:

TODO: figure out where we're using distuitls, what we're using it for, and get a general idea for how difficult it will be to replace.
