ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

It seems that starting from Python 12, distutils is not supported anymore:

Read What’s New In Python 3.12:

• PEP 632: Remove the distutils package. See the migration guide for advice replacing the APIs it provided. The third-party Setuptools package continues to provide distutils, if you still require it in Python 3.12 and beyond.
  

Because of this, I get an error every time I import aplpy. Could you fix this, please?

Sorry, I should have described the issue better. I am currently running Github actions to test my code, but I get the following error:
