"""distutils.util

General-purpose utility functions used throughout the Distutils
(especially in command classes).  Mostly filesystem manipulation, but
not limited to that.  The functions in this module generally raise
DistutilsFileError when they have problems with the filesystem, because
os.error in pre-1.5.2 Python only gives the error message and not the
file causing it."""
