Hi,

I'm having some trouble trying to install a python app, driconf, on a mandrake 10 system:

# python setup.py install 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 1, in ? from distutils.core import setup ImportError: No module named distutils.core

Python and distutils appear to be installed:

# rpm -q python python-2.3.3-2mdk

# ls /usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/ archive_util.py debug.pyo fancy_getopt.pyo spawn.pyc ...

I have looked on Google but found that other instances of this problem happen on Debian systems when the python-dev package, which contains distutils, isn't installed. On Mandrake however I think the distutils is part of the main python package.

I haven't changed any of the relevant configuration so it should be whatever the package set it up as.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to make it work?

Thanks g
