Python 3.12 compatibility: distutils is no longer available

[hvbtup]

Maybe it's time to remove support for dmtx version < 0.75 and remove the if statements.

distutils (and distutils.LooseVersion) are no longer available on Python 3.12:

from pylibdmtx import pylibdmtx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "....venv\Lib\site-packages\pylibdmtx\pylibdmtx.py", line 10, in
from .wrapper import (
File "....venv\Lib\site-packages\pylibdmtx\wrapper.py", line 8, in
from distutils.version import LooseVersion
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

how do we solve this issue ?

[hvbtup]

I suppose to remove the if statements including the version check and to support newer dmtx versions only.

You might want to get libdmtx0a or libdmtx0b
