test_distutils logs 3 DeprecationWarning warnings. They are emitted on purpose and related to PEP 632.

Does someone want to propose a fix for that?

"with self.assertWarns(DeprecationWarning):" or warnings_helper.check_warnings() of test.support.warnings_helper can be used.


$ ./python -m test -v test_distutils

By the way, it would be nice to ignore the DeprecationWarning in setup.py as well for now:

$ make
(...)
/home/vstinner/python/master/./setup.py:33: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
  from distutils import log
(...)

This warning is annoying.

Another warning:

$ ./python -m test -v test_check_c_globals
(...)
DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
  import distutils.ccompiler
(...)
Tests result: SUCCESS

I have reported this in the original issue earlier https://bugs.python.org/issue41282#msg388224 . See also https://bugs.python.org/issue43425 for more discussion over handling this.

Ok, let's reuse bpo-41282.

I created PR 25405 and PR 25406.
