[Distutils] Windows 8 pkg_resources permissions bug

[Ian Cordasco]

Hey all,

I searched the issues on the setuptools repository but I couldn't find
any that seemed relevant to what a user of Flake8 has run into:
https://bitbucket.org/tarek/flake8/issue/142/installation-on-windows-8-permissions

It seems that installing something that relies on pkg_resources to
load plugins will cause errors on Windows 8. Does anyone have any
insight? Is this actually a bug? Are we just using pkg_resources
incorrectly?

Thanks in advance,
Ian
