Yes, it should, that’s why the versions field lists 2.7 too.
I’ll get to this in some days.

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:
Note: Your patch fixes distutils, but in distutils2 dir_util is gone, use of
its functions replaced by shutil calls or duplicated code with, I’m afraid, the
same isdir/mkdir race condition. I wonder how we could add tests for that
instead.

New submission from Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
arfrever@gmail.com:
distutils.dir_util.mkpath() is used to create a directory and is supposed to
not fail when this directory already exists.
There's a chance that another process will create this directory between
os.path.isdir()
