[issue14915] pysetup may leave a package in a half-installed state

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

Do "make altinstall" from trunk.

Try running "pysetup3.3 install distutils2"

This won't work properly, because distutils2 uses Python 2 syntax.

However, after running that command:

"pysetup3.3 remove distutils2" complains that distutils2 is not installed, but "import distutils2" works at the 3.3. command prompt
