I am trying to make my own android app with a kivy project on Windows 11, and buildozer is not working. I've installed WSL and have gotten to the point where I need to run buildozer android debug deploy run
, but I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

from distutils.version import LooseVersion
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'
Fervently searching online, it seems like this is an issue with distutils not coming with python anymore (it seems to be deprecated). Setuptools is supposed to provide it, but somehow, despite uninstalling it and reinstalling it, upgrading it, doing the same for python (I'm now trying to run version 3.12.3 instead of version 3.11.9), and more.
Why can't buildozer find distutils despite setuptools obviously being on my computer??
