| Steps to reproduce: $ python -c 'from distutils.util import grok_environment_error as e; print(e(IOError("message")))' What I expect to see: error: message What I get instead: error: None This is a problem because it hides the error message in a real-life use case: trying to use the latest setuptools in an ancient virtualenv (see [1]). TL;DR version: - sysconfig (in the standard library) raises IOError(msg), - which is then caught and passed throughdistutils.util.grok_environment_error(), - which then returns an unfriendly 'error: None'.

| Duplicate of issue 4931. This function should be entirely unnecessary now. |
