[issue20846] pip can fail on windows but gives success message

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Well, the fact that a syntax error can result in a "successful install" message is a bug *somewhere*, and like I said I've seen this before with pip (on linux, so this issue has nothing to do with windows).

I guess it's a distutils bug, and falls into that category I mentioned of packaging bugs "we" will work on in the future...
