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 ; ).

Are these bugs not fixed in the distutils that shipped with Python 2.5b2?

In any case, I bumped the version number to 2.5, according to the policy discussed in

Thanks for pointing this out.
