[New-bugs-announce] [issue14914] pysetup installed distribute despite dry run option being specified

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

After approving the pyvenv PEP, I decided to play around with the other big packaging enhancement in 3.3: pysetup.

The following command installed distribute:

    pysetup3.3 -n install distribute

The "-n" *should* have caused that to be a dry run, but it actually installed the module.
