Running on Python 3.12 I see:

[2024-04-11 11:01:12,915] WARNING in toolbar: Disabled flask_debugtoolbar.panels.versions.VersionDebugPanel due to ImportError: import_string() failed for 'flask_debugtoolbar.panels.versions.VersionDebugPanel'. Possible reasons are:

- missing __init__.py in a package;
- package or module path not included in sys.path;
- duplicated package or module name taking precedence in sys.path;
- missing module, class, function or variable;

Debugged import:

- 'flask_debugtoolbar' found in '/Users/jeffwidman/Code/open-source/flask-debugtoolbar/src/flask_debugtoolbar/__init__.py'.
- 'flask_debugtoolbar.panels' found in '/Users/jeffwidman/Code/open-source/flask-debugtoolbar/src/flask_debugtoolbar/panels/__init__.py'.
- 'flask_debugtoolbar.panels.versions' not found.

Original exception:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

This is because Python 3.12 removed distutils.

Fix pulled from https://bugs.python.org/issue41282#msg393018.

This will not work on Python 3.6, but we've already dropped support for that.

After the fix, the error is gone and the Versions panel re-appears.

This is because Python 3.12 removed `distutils`.

Fix pulled from https://bugs.python.org/issue41282#msg393018.

This will not work on Python `3.6`, but we've already dropped support
for that.

After the fix, the error is gone and the Versions panel re-appears.
