This PR migrates from distutils to packaging.version for comparing versions. This follows the recommendations from the distutils deprecation warnings. Distutils is deprecated, and is removed in the upcoming Python 3.12 (pytest-cases is incompatible with Python 3.12 for this reason).
This is an alternative implementation to PR #303, which uses a replacement of
LooseVersion
. Because this package is simply comparing pytest package versions, which are all PEP 440 compliant,LooseVersion
is not required, and the more standardpackaging
package is sufficient.Closes #297, closes #307
