New submission from Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com>:
With a simple setup.cfg defining a distribution containing a single Python
module, if you misspell the "modules" keyword (say, as "module") then pysetup
does nothing without reporting the error.
This silent failure is very hard to debug, and even if pysetup is ignoring
unknown items by design, it should at a minimum report ignored items and
probably try to warn on common misspellings like this one.
