modulenotfounderror: no module named 'distutils' in python

the `modulenotfounderror` exception is raised when python cannot find a module that you are trying to import in your code. one common module that might trigger this error is `distutils`, which is a standard module in python used for building and distributing python packages.

if you encounter a `modulenotfounderror` with the message "no module named 'distutils'", it likely means that the `distutils` module is missing from your python installation. this can happen if you are using a stripped-down version of python or if the module has been inadvertently deleted.

here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. **verify python installation**: ensure that you have a complete python installation that includes the `distutils` module. reinstall python if necessary.

2. **check python version**: make sure you are using a python version that includes `distutils`. the module is typically included in python 2.x and python 3.x installations.

3. **virtual environments**: if you are working within a virtual environment, ensure that the environment was set up correctly and that it includes the necessary modules.

4. **system path**: check if the python interpreter can find the `distutils` module by examining the system path. it's possible that the module is there but not accessible due to a misconfiguration.

5. **reinstalling the module**: if all else fails, you can try to reinstall the `distutils` module using tools like `pip`. however, this approach may not be straightforward as `distutils` is a core module and should ideally be present in your python installation.
