The docstring is wrong, but I don’t think there is much value in changing it
now. Style guides generally recommend against star imports, and not many
people need to import from distutils.errors (setuptools and maybe numpy?).

New submission from Jakub Wilk:
Docstring of the distutils.errors module reads:
This module is safe to use in "from ... import *" mode; it only exports
symbols whose names start with "Distutils" and end with "Error".
But in reality, the module exports also names that don't start with "Distutils
