Motivation
In #3035 we received a report that some modules are being imported sometimes as
distutils.<module name>
other times assetuptools._distutils.<module name>
, which results in different copies of the module object being used in different places and prevents effective patching (see #3038, #3042 for an example).Although at the moment I don't know how to fix this problem, I believe I found a way of diagnosing when this problem happens.
