New submission from Piotr Husiatyński <phusiatyn...@gmail.com>:

I'm using Arch Linux, which instead of compress, provides symlink to gzip 
(AFAIK this will be replaced with xz). Because of that, instead of .Z 
extension, .gz is being used to create compressed file name.

$ ./python -m test test_distutils
[1/1] test_distutils
test test_distutils failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/sda5/Projekty/cpython/Lib/distutils/tests/test_archive_util.py",

AssertionError: False is not true
