Comment(by reganeet):

 Unfortunately, platform.dist() is another Unix-only command. Running is on
 Windows gives me a tuple of empty strings. sys.platform works though.
 {{{
 >>> import platform
 >>> print platform.dist()
 ('', '', '')

 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.platform
 'win32'
 }}}
 You might want to consider using platform.system():
 http://docs.python.org/library/platform.html#platform.system
 It should return 'Windows' no matter the architecture is x86 or x64.

 I know that log does not help, but Stem did not print anything else about
 the integ test, and I didn't find an option like --debug or --verbose.
