numpy.distutils deprecated for Python >= 3.12

[vstevano]

The setup.py file uses numpy.distutils that is depreciated in newer versions of Python and numpy. The easy fix to replace:

from numpy.distutils.core import setup, Extension

with:

from setuptools import Extension, setup

returns the following error:

python setup.py build

FYI, this worked for transitioning my code: https://github.com/lekah/samos/blob/master/setup.py
