[Bug #233259] Ugly traceback for DistutilsPlatformError

akuchling · akuchling · commit 91e77536e828 · 2002-11-08T16:18:24.000Z
Fixed by catching all exceptions that are subclasses of DistutilsError,
  so only the error message will be printed.  You can still get the
  whole traceback by enabling the Distutils debugging mode.
