[Distutils] Installing a file into sitepackages

[Stuart Axon]

I had a further look - and on windows the file ends up inside the .egg file, on linux it ends up inside the site packages as intended.


At a guess it seems like there might be a bug in the path handling on windows. .. I wonder if it's something like this

which seems an easy way to get an off-by-one error in a path ?
