[Distutils] [issue61] bdist_egg command doesn't stop after byte-compile errors

[Miroslav Madecki]

New submission from Miroslav Madecki <miro at a-bb.net>:

I'm using setuptools 06c9 on CentOs 5.X i386/x86_64.

When using bdist_egg command one would expect setuptools to stop
once byte-compile encounters an error
(e.g. python source file with syntax errors) and would also return
exit value other than 0 indicating a failure.

Unfortunately neither is the case so if you use setuptools within makefiles
it won't stop make in the case of errors.

I'm surprised that nobody else reported this issue.

Example is attached below.
