Is it intentional that Python 2.5 is (currently) shipping with distutils 2.4.0, while Python 2.4 (at least 2.4.1, 2.4.2 and 2.4.3) shipped with distutils 2.4.1? Judging from my own tests, distutils 2.4.1 fixed several bugs that some of my test suites depend on (the fixes, not the bugs ; ). Thanks, Collin Winter
