Bug summary
Python 3.10 formally deprecated distutils.
DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
matplotlib still contains a few occurrences which should probably be removed:
setup.py:from distutils.errors import CompileError
setup.py:from distutils.dist import Distribution
setup.py:setup( # Finally, pass this all along to distutils to do the heavy lifting.
setupext.py:from distutils import ccompiler, sysconfig
setupext.py:from distutils.core import Extension
setupext.py: Return or yield a list of C extensions (`distutils.core.Extension`
