Description of the changes
Readdressing #2685 (and #2690 that "fixed" it) in a way that doesn't involve messing with distutils's internals.
We require Python 3.8 now, so we can finally just use
shutil.copytree
to copy a directory...Haven't tested this, basing this solely on discussion from #2685/#2690
