tarek: Issue2987 has the details on changes made for ipv6 urlparse.
Those can't be backported as it's a feature. I would rather like to see whats breaking in distutils2. 

The url which resulted in this bug in distribute: "http://www.famfamfam.com](http://www.famfamfam.com/" is clearly an invalid one. What can be done is py26, looking for invalid char like '[' or ']' outside of netloc.
