Description Daniel Resare 2002-05-01 22:46:07 UTC

Description of Problem:
any simple setup script (setup.py) will fail when invoked with python2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python2-2.2-16 (skipjack-2 + up2date updates)

How Reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fetch a package with a setup.py script (for example
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mimelib/email-2.0.1.tar.gz)
2. run 'python2 setup.py install


Actual Results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 19, in ?

Comment 2 Daniel Resare 2002-07-31 13:39:58 UTC

I was bitten again by this and took the time to find out the real problem. It
seems like python2-devel needs to be installed before distutils.core
functionality works. I think this is a bug since installing software is a normal
activity and quite different from compiling python extentions in c, that
python2-devel is used for otherwise.

So, please move /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile from python2-devel to python2
as it is needed by at least distutils.core

Not a bug, you're working with python code.
