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
Could this not simply use the Python version number directly, instead? Separate version numbers only make sense if the package is separately distributed - and even then, something like Barry's setup for the email package could keep that version number out of the Python trunk.
Fiddly little version numbers scattered throughout the standard library == pain.
