New submission from Nate DeSimone <nateman1...@gmail.com>:

During network transit, .exe generated with distutils may become corrupted.  
The part of the file that is a binary executable is small compared to the full 
package typically, so it is possible for the installer to run and lay down bad 
files.  It would be nice if the setup program ran a CRC check on itself before 
running.
