in C:\tmp\qtwebengine\get-pip-x64-windows-err.log, it says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

the problem is distutils package is removed in Python version 3.12

and it occurred in script get-pip.py

then i checked this script in C:\tmp\qtwebengine\src\8854625dd8-861bd167bd, found it is quite out of date (modified year is 2023)

so i update it to the lastest version

to keep the changed cache file, add --editable to vcpkg command, and noticed the following error msg:

it says D:/vcpkg/downloads/tools/python/python-3.12.7-x64-1/python311.zip is missing

but i found python312.zip in that folder, so i just copy and rename it to python311.zip

this time, qtwebengine building process successfully started!
