[issue17002] html.entities ImportError in distutils2/pypi/simple.py on Python2.7

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

Good call.  All function-level imports are avoided in d2 unless absolutely necessary, and this one slipped through the cracks.  distutils2 went from Python 2 to 3 to 2 and 3 again, so these things happen (and it’s one of the reasons why I’ve always insisted on trying to keep as much history as possible in one repo).

Will fix, as even though d2 will not continue to live as one monolithic project, the pypi submodule will certainly be extracted in a smaller lib reusable by other tools.
