Hi!
This is a VERY common error that traps users regularly:
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
Could we extend that error message by a hint on installing the python- dev .rpm/.deb?
if sys.platform = "unix": msg += "\nYou probably need to install..."
Sure. Do you have a list of common package names needed for this ? SuSE uses "python-devel". -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Software directly from the Source (#1, Feb 19 2003)
