Distutils was indeed part of python-devel, which is on the dvd, but is not part of the standard installation.
Thanks for your help, Floris
Somebody should probably provide feedback to the packager that they shouldn't yank out arbitrary parts of the Python distribution into separate (OS-level) packages. The standard library is the standard library: it should not be subdivided.
Mmmm, just about every distro is using the concept of splitting out packages you don't need if you're not a developer, but it's wrong in this case.
It's wrong in every case where the standard library is concerned. That is, after all, what "standard" means. :)
