New submission from Jim Fulton <j...@zope.com>: The --dry-run option is ignored by the install command. It leads to an error when used as a global option.
It should be fixed or removed. I vote for removal, but don't really care. Removal seems easier. :) To reproduce, create the simple project: http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html#a-simple-example and then try the option.
