"the Distutils work just fine with Python 1.5.2, and it is reasonable (and expected to become commonplace) to expect users of Python 1.5.2 to download and install the Distutils separately before they can install your modules"
I'm not native english speakers but that sentence above doesn't imply Python 1.5.2 => Distutils. So instead of an error like this:
checking Python installation directories... Traceback (innermost last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named distutils Traceback (innermost last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named distutils /usr/ checking how to link an embedded Python application... no configure: error: Python Makefile not found error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56347 (%build)
is better have:
Error: you need to have Distutil installed
Perhaps. The first error message seems clear enough to me, but if you want to send me the necessary distutils test, I can incorporate it. Any other opinions out there?
