Summary: Ugly traceback for DistutilsPlatformError
Details: From Chad Lester:
> I was setting up a new redhat machine, and had forgotten to install the
> python-devel rpm. The distutils provide a fairly ugly stack trace /
error
> message. Luckily, it meant something to me... but it's not terribly
user
> friendly!
