[Python-modules-team] Bug#896420: python3-winrm: winrm fails to import

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: python3-winrm
Version: 0.3.0-1
Severity: serious
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: python-import

After installing python3-winrm importing the module winrm
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/winrm/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    from winrm.protocol import Protocol
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/winrm/protocol.py", line 11, in <module>
    from winrm.transport import Transport
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/winrm/transport.py", line 18, in <module>
    from distutils.util import strtobool
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.util'

The vast majority of import failures is attributed to missing dependencies.
Often times that manifests as an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError.
Typically, dependencies should be inserted by dh-python via ${python:Depends}
or ${python3:Depends}. Thus a missing dependency can be caused by incomplete
install_requires in setup.py. Sometimes a missing dependency of a dependency
is the cause, in such cases this bug should be reassigned.
