I heard distutils may have been split out... see if you have a package

I have:
//usr/lib/python3.5/distutils
and
//usr/lib/python3.6/distutils, but no python3-distutils.
Checking in Synaptic there is no python3-distutils but there is a
python3-distutils-extra.
it was a guess... this change seems to have just happened in Ubuntu
(bionic/18.04 only), perhaps that's not the thing affecting you in Mint
(yet).

distutils package for Python 3.x
$ dpkg -L python3 | grep sysconfig
$ dpkg -L python3-distutils | grep sysconfig
/usr/lib/python3.6/distutils/sysconfig.py
/usr/lib/python3.7/distutils/sysconfig.py

I don't know if I missed it or a late update pulled it in but I just did
sudo apt install python3-distutils and now my problem is fixed.
Thanks to you and Zachary for helping me out.
Regards, Jim
