+Subject: [PATCH] python_linux_procfs: setup.py: Remove distutils
+
+distutils is deprecated, so use sysconfig instead
+
+different versions of python produce different results, which is why
+we test which SCHEME is available before calculating our answer.
+
+TODO: test whether we need to calculate PYTHONLIB at all. Is it being
+used during the setup? We don't appear to be using a --prefix from our
+specfiles. This patch ensures that if it is used, we are getting a
+correct PYTHONLIB without using distutils, but perhaps we can just drop
+this section.
+
+We need to bump the version number as well here, it looks like it was
+missed the last time.
