[issue35893] distutils fails to build extension on windows when it is a package.__init__

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

The bug is the stdlib, and I've checked that setuptools just calls the code in distutils in this case.

IMHO it would be better to fix this in the stdlib.

(Unselecting python 3.6 because that's in security-only mode by now)
