It's not; it's trying to import from the standard library's distutils.ccompiler module. Suse, like several other Linux distributions, separates distutils from the rest of the standard library in a separate package which you will need to install. It will be called something like python-dev or python-devel. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
