This PR proposes dropping Python 2 support to fix problems with setup.py. It also drops use of distutils as it is slated for removal in Python 3.12. The changes are minimal and do not break the tests (neither the repo tests, nor manual tests I performed myself with data on my own use of pyminifier).

The code removed was only necessary to support Python 2.
Furthermore, because setuptools no longer support use_2to3, the
code became a problem for installation procedures that use
setuptools, such as pip.  This should fix a few issues related to
the installation procedures.
This commit removes distutils code in setup.py. The distutils
package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. The
removal of this code doesn't affect the installation procedures,
using pip.

It would be really cool if this could be merged. I use pyminifier in a project and I need to either bundle the relevant pyminifier files or find another obfuscation/minifier library if it cannot be installed on python 3.10/3.11.

Given that the original author hasn't been seen on GitHub since 2018, I suggest that you try emailing him asking for a transfer of ownership of the GitHub repo and the PyPI project. If you get no response then fork this repo and submit a pep541 name transfer request.
