[Bug] Support for Python 3.12 - Missing distutils #176
Description
Expected Behavior
The library should function under Python3.12
Actual Behavior
The library attempts to load the distutils module, which was removed in Python3.12. See https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/distutils.html for background on the deprecation and removal of distutils.
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- Install mitreattack-python with
python3 -m pip install mitreattack-python - Run python3 and attempt to load library:
% python3 --version
Python 3.12.4
% python3
Python 3.12.4 (main, Jun 6 2024, 18:26:44) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)] on darwin

Possible Solution
This may be related to #163, and removing support for STIX1 will remove the dependency.
