3 Provides exceptions used by the Distutils modules. Note that Distutils
4 modules may raise standard exceptions; in particular, SystemExit is
5 usually raised for errors that are obviously the end-user's fault
6 (eg. bad command-line arguments).
7
8 This module is safe to use in "from ... import *" mode; it only exports
9 symbols whose names start with "Distutils" and end with "Error"."""
