I was joking :)  What I meant was: I can’t agree with the statement “it could 
be raised on any other usage as sys.stdout does not have an 'error' attribute” 
because we have tests and users that use distutils without seeing this error.

setup.py is meant to be run from the command line only.  If you try to run it 
from IDLE, the behavior is undefined, so I’m inclined to close this bug as 
invalid.
