I don't think you need to do anything to distutils. In the case we care
about (an installed Python) distutils.utils isn't imported. Check this
code in site.py:
# Append ./build/lib.<platform> in case we're running in the build dir
# (especially for Guido :-)
# XXX This should not be part of site.py, since it is needed even when
# using the -S option for Python. See http://www.python.org/sf/586680
if (os.name == "posix" and sys.path and
os.path.basename(sys.path[-1]) == "Modules"):
from distutils.util import get_platform
s = "build/lib.%s-%.3s" % (get_platform(), sys.version)
s = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.path[-1]), s)
sys.path.append(s)
del get_platform, s
