New submission from Marius Gedminas:
Steps to reproduce:
$ python -c 'from distutils.util import grok_environment_error as e;
print(e(IOError("message")))'
What I expect to see:
error: message
What I get instead:
error: None
This is a problem because it hides the error message in a real-life use case:
trying to use the latest setuptools in an ancient virtualenv (see [1]). TL;DR
version:
- sysconfig (in the standard library) raises IOError(msg),
- which is then caught and passed
throughdistutils.util.grok_environment_error(),
- which then returns an unfriendly 'error: None'.
