ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.msvccompiler'

Bug report

Bug description:

It is regarding this error when installing, pip install pylzma

Same error occurs when I am running these commands in python shell, from distutils import msvccompiler or from distutils.msvccompiler import MSVCCompiler

Although, when I tried to import the MSVCCompiler in python shell with this command, from distutils._msvccompiler import MSVCCompiler it imported just fine. Please see the screenshot below.

I think it's just file naming issue, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Please help.

CPython versions tested on:

3.13

Operating systems tested on:

Windows

Sorry, but you should report this instead to the pylzma project. The distutils package was removed from the stdlib in CPython 3.12.
