FTR, the distutils2 repo is http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutils2. 
distutils2.tests.support contains helper to create temp directories and run 
commands; see docstrings and example uses in the tests for more info.

no, rather in test_bdist_rpm, test_sdist and so on,
but I can do it, it'll just take more time.

hmm, I'm unsure about how this should be done..


I guess such a test would belong in Lib/distutils/test_dist.py, but I'm
uncertain about how it should be done, ie. should it be a test for doing
'bdist', 'bdist_rpm' and 'sdist' for each of the formats supported? I
cannot seem to find any tests for the currently supported formats and
such tests would introduce dependencies on the tools used to compress
with these formats..
