Deprecation notice for distutils still being spammed for MacOS users

[hack-r]

Description

The issue from #10712 persists, as the last comments on the Issue mentioned prior to it being locked. This was not resolved by newer Python versions.

Currently, I'm seeing it appear very frequently with Python 3.9.13 but it affects a number of my machines and Python installations. It's often repeated at least 4 times per package being installed.

Expected behavior

Print the message at most once. Have some way to silence it.

pip version

21.1.1, 22.1.2

Python version

3.9.13

OS

MacOS 11.6.7 and 12.1

How to Reproduce

Install any package with pip

Output

As per the warning, the current status can be found at Homebrew/homebrew-core#76621. From what I can tell reading that issue, the problem hasn't been fixed at the Homebrew end yet.

[hack-r]

Yes, true. But the message is repeated so frequently and it affects so many users (personal and professional, both in my case) that not being able to suppress it using pip's options is kind of a bug or at the very least really good cause for a feature request, I suppose?

To quote the other OP (in an Issue where it was believed that this was resolved):

There is no rate-limit on this warning. There is no pip --use-deprecated option to quiet this warning. python3 -W ignore::DeprecationWarning -m pip doesn't work (and arguably shouldn't); -W ignore::Warning does work, but I assume there are other warnings I do want to see.

Incidentally, I just confirmed this is still the situation in pip 22.1.2

Maybe we could simply switch to use DeprecationWarning to make supressing work?

[hack-r]

@uranusjr That would work for me, good idea
