[issue34693] PEPping distutils/core.py

Thanks for the report and for the PR, John. Karthikeyan is correct.

Many of the modules in the stdlib predate PEP 8. Also, making PEP 8-only changes would make "git blame" less useful and can cause regressions (IIRC it has happened at least once, but I don't remember the details at the moment.)

Closing this as 'rejected'. I hope you will continue contributing to Python!
