Best,

You are doing better than most. But *everyone* gets that failure. I
don't know how critical that is in Sage, but either the test is broken
on that part of Python is broken in Sage.

Sorry, that did not make a lot of sense.
First, everyone who has tested that package in Sage sees that failure.
Secondly, either
* The distutils test is broken
* Distutils in Python is broken.
* One of the modifications done to Python in Sage has broken disutils.
A few failures are observed on OS X, Solaris and OpenSolaris. Those failures
have always included test_distutils.
If I recall correctly, there are some odd comments on some tickets about
workaround being applied because distutils is broken, though I might be
confusing it with another aspect of Python.
I was rather hoping that Python would get merged, so everyone could test their
Python in Sage, but unfortunately the ticket did not get merged, despite the
positive review. So if anyone wants to check their Python build, they will need
to download
