And more specifically, cmake 3.27 changed the value return by
Python3_SITEARCH in FindPython3.cmake from:

  distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=False,standard_lib=False)
  or else sysconfig.get_path('purelib')

to
  sysconfig.get_path('purelib')

I believe this is due to the upcoming removal of distutils in python
3.12.
