Andrew M. Kuchling 3b388ec8b3 [Bug #220993; may also fix bug #479469] Fix flakiness when old
installations are present, by always unlinking the destination file
  before copying to it.  Without the unlink(), the copied file remains
  owned by its previous UID, causing the subsequent chmod() to fail.

Bugfix candidate, though it may cause changes on platforms where
  file ownership behaves differently.

README

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
