Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

I'd change the name of the subdirectories of build instead of the name of the 
build directory itself. That way distutils will still create one build 
directory regardless of how many python versions you use, and the name of that 
directory is easily predicatble (which is nice when using basic tools to clean 
up a directory).

The distribute/setuptools projects do this as well, and implementing this 
should only require a fairly trival patch to distutils.commands.build (the 
defaults for the various build_ directories need to be updated).

BTW. How likely is the acceptance of such a patch? IIRC distutils is more or 
less closed for development w.r.t. new features. Would that also apply to this 
feature request?
