New submission from Sravani Gogineni <goginenis at corning.com>:

i was trying to install python 3 using the folowing command 
$ python setup.py --home=~/python3

and i got the below error:

  File "setup.py", line 232
    except (CCompilerError, DistutilsError) as why:
                                             ^
