distutils.version bug

[Juancho-ne]

Hello everyone who has contributed to this amazing resource, specially professor Labbe.

While trying to run the code in chapter 8 Designing Kalman filters, I found the following bug in book_format.py line 50:

from distutils.version import LooseVersion

It happens that distutils is no longer part of the Python library.

I could correct this by installing looseversion

pip install looseversion

and then importing it

from looseversion import LooseVersion

best regards,

Juan

That may be a better fix than mine.
For anyone else having the problem, though, I also managed to solve it by downgrading my conda environment's version of python back to python 3.10 with this command (make sure you have the kf_bf environment activated):

conda install python=3.10
