I don't understand what's there to buy. Several people reported distutils errors without any backtrace, though a fair shared of those were caused by our own extensions.
distutils specifically swallows exceptions and formats them for users by default. After all, it is trying to behave like a regular command line program that interacts with users, not developers. This is easily overridable for developers who are trying debug problems by setting the environment variable DISTUTILS_DEBUG=1. This will make distutils just give the traceback.
