[New-bugs-announce] [issue8680] Add a sandbox in Distutils2

[Tarek Ziadé]

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

Add a sandbox in distutils2, so all installation steps can be recorded or controlled.

Usage example: a dry-run mode that prevents anything to be written on the disk but just reports.

See setuptools.sandbox for example
