What version of python comes with RH2.1?
1.5.2
In any case, the online documentation for python suggests that it is
reasonable to expect that distutils is already installed (by default
for python >= 1.6, and by the user for python 1.5.2). See:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/dist/intro.html
If there are no other objections, I'll commit the attached in about
24 hours.
Are you going also to change the configure so it will check the distutils
package installation ?
I wasn't going to -- python's own docs say I shouldn't need to. From the
link above:
"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
