This has regressed during the upgrade to Python 3.8.2 in yocto-3.1. To reproduce: * git checkout yocto-3.1 * bitbake python3 * check python3 workdir, in packages-split * wininst*.exe files should be packaged in python3-distutils-windows but are instead packaged in python3-distutils: $ find packages-split -name "*.exe" packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-7.1.exe packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-10.0-amd64.exe packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-10.0.exe packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-9.0.exe packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-8.0.exe packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-9.0-amd64.exe packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-14.0.exe packages-split/python3-distutils/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/command/wininst-14.0-amd64.exe 93037 1 tvgamblin 2022-04-13 20:14:14 +0000 Set to unassigned since I will no longer be at WR. 94742 2 alejandro 2023-01-18 07:34:44 +0000 I was going to assign this to me, but the wininst files are no longer provided by distutils so this cant be fixed on master. Also distutils itself is EOL in Python 3.12 [1] https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#distutils-deprecated 94772 3 randy.macleod 2023-01-19 16:13:31 +0000 Seems to be only worth fixing on dunfell so Steve is going to take a look. 94935 4 steve 2023-02-16 14:08:21 +0000 Fixed in dunfell: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?h=dunfell&id=82af51171e43629f610bc80dcb634ab9619b4ab4
