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:

I'm attaching the patch.
