> When I do "import shutil" inside _backport/shutil.py
You shouldn’t do that!  Our backported module is fully stand-alone.

I have fixed the bug with this change in install_data.py:
 
-from shutil import Error
+from distutils2._backport.shutil import Error

I think I’m going to update our whole codebase to only use the backported 
shutil, never the stdlib one, for clarity (i.e. to avoid similar bugs in the 
future).
