distutils.dir_util.mkpath() is used to create a directory and is supposed to not fail when this directory already exists. There's a chance that another process will create this directory between os.path.isdir() check and call to os.mkdir(). This was reproduced by a Gentoo user during parallel installation of Python: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311437 I'm attaching the patch.
