remove deprecated distutils

[zerwes]

hiyapyco/__init__.py:25:0: W4901: Deprecated module 'distutils.util' (deprecated-module)

caused by strtobool

https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/#migration-advice

so we can use a own implementation or use:

• https://pypi.org/project/str2bool/
• https://github.com/symonsoft/str2bool

[zerwes]

minimal own implementation would look like

def strtobool(val):
    val = val.lower()
    if val in ("y", "yes", "t", "true", "on", "1"):
        return 1
    elif val in ("n", "no", "f", "false", "off", "0"):
        return 0
    else:
        raise ValueError("invalid truth value %r" % (val,))

! strtobool returns int, not bool :-?

>>> distutils.util.strtobool('y')
1
>>> type(distutils.util.strtobool('y'))
<class 'int'>
