[Python-Dev] distutils & stderr

[Skip Montanaro]

If I could "cvs up" I would submit a patch, but in the meantime, is there
any good reason that distutils shouldn't write its output to stderr?  I'm
using PyInline to execute a little bit of C code that returns some
information about the system to the calling Python code.  This code then
sends some output to stdout.

I've patched my local directory tree so that distutils sends its output to
sys.stderr.  Is there some overriding reason distutils messages should go to
sys.stdout?

BTW, Python + PyInline makes a hell of a lot easier to understand configure
script... ;-)
