The current version of distutils is already included with every version of Python; you just installed a broken out-of-date version of them. Delete what you installed (presumably a distutils-*.egg file or directory), and your system should work again.
Hi, That's what I thought, but before I installed the distutils package manually, I got this: L:\Temp\pycrypto-2.0.1>python setup.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 8, in ? from setuptools import setup ImportError: No module named setuptools And I get that now that I've deleted the distutils-egg file. Do I need to download setuptools from some place? Mike On 10/6/07, Phillip J. Eby <pje@telecommunity.com> wrote:
