(no idea why, or how)
backport theller's patch
Set the warn_dir option to 0 before running the install command.
This suppresses bogus warnings about modules installed into a directory
not in sys.path.
Bugfix candidate.
SF bug 543840: complex(string) accepts strings with \0
complex_subtype_from_string(): this stopped parsing at the first 0
byte, as if that were the end of the input string.
revision 1.63 of install.py
Revert part of previous patch: several install_* subcommands expect
.compile to be None, and set it to true if it is.
Caught by Pearu Peterson.
Bugfix candidate, if the previous change is accepted for
release22-maint.
revision 1.62 of install.py
Add missing Boolean options
Remove unused no_compile flag
Initialize the Boolean attribute .compile to 0 instead of None
Bugfix candidate.
backport akuchling's checkin of
revision 1.30 of bdist_wininst.py
Add unlisted Boolean options. Thomas H., can you please check that I
got this right?
Bugfix candidate, unless Thomas notes a problem.
revision 1.28 of bdist_rpm.py
[Bug #517451] bdist_rpm didn't list all of its Boolean options.
(Someone should check the other commands for this same error.)
Bugfix candidate.
revision 1.11 of install_scripts.py
Restrict the mode to the lowest four octal positions; higher positions
contain the type of the file (regular file, socket, link, &c.).
This means that install_scripts will now print
"changing mode of <file> to 775" instead of "... to 100775".
2.2 bugfix candidate, I suppose, though this isn't actually fixing a bug.
This patch was applied by an alarmingly automated system -- I hope it
worked...
package_dir must be converted from the distutils path conventions to
local conventions before being used by build_py.
Fixes SF bug #509288, probably a candidate for 2.2.1
crashes.
If no external zip-utility is found, the archive is created by the
zipfile module, which behaves different now than in 2.1: if the
zip-file is created in the root directory if the distribution, it will
contain an (empty) version of itself.
This triggered the above bug - so it's better to create the zip-file
far away in the TMP directory.

distutils for the library modules built as shared objects. A better solution
appears possible, but with the threat that the distutils becomes more
magical ("complex").
This closes SF bug #458343.
bdist_wininst doesn't use the NT SCHEME any more, instead
a custom SCHEME is used, which is exchanged at installation
time, depending on the python version used.
Avoid a bogus warning frpom install_lib about installing
into a directory not on sys.path.
modules and extensions on Windows is now $PREFIX/Lib/site-packages.
