[issue9023] distutils relative path errors

[Éric Araujo]

I’m not sure how I feel about paths going to the parent directory. Your use case is not imaginary or contrived, but I’m uncomfortable with going out of the source tree.

Your setup script would work if the setup script was in the root of the source tree, right? In this case, I would requalify this as a doc bug. Can you test this solution (also with distutils-only code)? Thank you.
