New submission from Jakub Wilk:
Docstring of the distutils.errors module reads:
This module is safe to use in "from ... import *" mode; it only exports
symbols whose names start with "Distutils" and end with "Error".
But in reality, the module exports also names that don't start with "Distutils":
>>> ns = {}
>>> exec('from distutils.errors import *', {}, ns)
>>> [k for k in ns.keys() if not k.startswith('Distutils')]
['LibError', 'UnknownFileError', 'LinkError', 'CompileError', 'CCompilerError',
'PreprocessError']
