Hi Vernon,
A little of both, actually - we have a copy of the Python stdlib, and
there are some modifications to it, but the goal is to stay as close
as possible to the CPython stdlib.
If you supply a patch upstream, I'll apply it to our copy because it
affects us more than CPython, and it likely won't make production
until 3.3.
I wouldn't worry about trying to determine if elevation is required -
just 'write access denied' should be enough.
- Jeff

You are right to close this bug -- I made a bad report based on an
incorrect assumption. But I would not have been led astray if the error
message had not been so obscure. It should SAY just exactly what you said:
elevation is required. IMHO the distutils error reporting should be
improved.
My question for you: Is IronPython distutils a special version (and we can
fix it here) or straight from the Python Standard Library (and it must be
fixed there)?
Perhaps I can supply a patch, but I need to know where to send it.
