Try this:

This should print a version and a filename. The filename should be something like 'c:\Python24\Lib\distutils\...' (*without* site-packages between the Lib and distutils), and the version should be 1.0.3 or higher.
If the location is different, you haven't uninstalled it correctly. If the location is correct but the version is less than 1.0.3, you installed the distutils over the version that came with Python, and will have to reinstall Python to fix it.
Here is what was returned:
2.4.1 L:\Python24\lib\distutils\__init__.py
Then this version of Python should have a usable version of the distutils.
I did notice that if I try running Python from the command line, it loads the ActiveState version of Python 2.4.3 rather than the "normal" 2.4.3 version. I don't suppose that could be the problem, could it?
Since I don't know what pythons you've been running for what, I have no idea.

Ok. I uninstalled everything related to Python including my ctypes and wxPython installations. I reinstalled Python 2.4.3 and setuptools 0.6c7. It still gives me the TypeError as before. Also, now it won't recognize "python" as a command name. While I can start python's command line terminal by going to Start, Run, and typing "python", if I open a command window and type the following: python setup.py bdist_wininst I get 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Unless I actually type out the path to the python executable. Maybe there's something wrong with the PyCrypto module itself. I don't know. I guess I'll post this to the c.l.py group too. Sorry to bother you. Thanks for your help. Mike
