Broken Test -- test_distutils

In the past couple of days, test_distutils started failing. It looks like a pure python error and may have been introduced by guilherme.polo's checkins: File "c:\py27\lib\distutils\tests\test_sdist.py", line 119, in test_make_distr ibution spawn('tar --help') File "c:\py27\lib\distutils\spawn.py", line 37, in spawn _spawn_nt(cmd, search_path, dry_run=dry_run) File "c:\py27\lib\distutils\spawn.py", line 70, in _spawn_nt cmd = _nt_quote_args(cmd) File "c:\py27\lib\distutils\spawn.py", line 61, in _nt_quote_args args[i] = '"%s"' % args[i] TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment 1 test failed: test_distutils Raymond
