compilation API fails for python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.msvccompiler'

I am having an unexpected error at the first step of the API when recompiling opentelemac on conda forge across versions of python: 3.9/3.10/3.11 image

You can check details here on Azure pipelines.

Is there anything else I need to specify when compiling the API? Because I see that you've adapted for different versions in 05c89230

So I don't really know where the error comes from.
