[New-bugs-announce] [issue5164] backport distutils 3.x changes into 2.7 when appliabl

[Tarek Ziadé]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

It's annoying to get conflicts on changes in distutils in the trunk,
when forward-porting to 3.x, because other changes where made there and
only there.

Things like PEP8-ification and modern syntax changes needs to be
backported to 2.7 when appliable to reduce the gap.
