Description of problem:

I'm having a dejavu about this, thinking i reported it and it was
fixed a long time ago. Oh well. Here goes.

The distutils functionality that many python programs depend on to
install correctly depends on the file
/usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile that currently resides in the
python-devel package together with stuff needed develop c-extensions
needed for python.

Please move /usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile into the main python
rpm. This has the nice bonus of avoiding unneeded newbie unfrendly
error messages when trying to install common programs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.3.3-3

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. verify that python-devel is not installed
2. try to install a package that that uses distutils, my example was
http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/moin/moin-1.2.1.tar.gz
3. run 'python setup.py'

  
Actual results:
[noa@marit moin-1.2.1]$ python setup.py install --home=/opt/moin
--record=install.log
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)


Expected results:
successful installation
