This practice is stupid anyway, because it means you have to install python-devel even to install pure Python packages with setuptools/distribute. Just ask Fedora, Mandriva and friends to change their packaging practice (Mandriva already has a bug open for that by the way). In Debian/Ubuntu, the Makefile is correctly part of the main Python package: $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile python2.5: /usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
