[Distutils] distutils + CVS Python prob. -- or is my installation broken?

[Just van Rossum]

I'm running into an odd problem with CVS Python:

  running build_ext
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  [ ... ]
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 434, in
get_config_vars
      func()
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 322, in
_init_posix
      raise DistutilsPlatformError(my_msg)
  distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: invalid Python installation: unable
to open /usr/local/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)


This is my Python version, freshly checked out from CVS:
Python 2.3a0 (#22, Feb 11 2002, 16:05:10) 


So distutils is looking for /usr/local/lib/python2.3, whereas the lib is still
in /usr/local/lib/python2.2. Is my install broken or is distutils confused?

Thanks,

Just
