[Distutils] Distutils 1.0.2 setup error

[damon fasching]

Hi,

I've just attempted to install Distutils-1.0.2 with

python setup.py install

and got the following error.

======================================================

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 30, in ?
    packages = ['distutils', 'distutils.command'],
  File
"/home/damon/download/software/python/distutils/Distutils-1.0.2/distutils/core.py",
line 101, in setup
    _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs)
  File
"/home/damon/download/software/python/distutils/Distutils-1.0.2/distutils/dist.py",
line 130, in __init__
    setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata,
method_name))
AttributeError: DistributionMetadata instance has no
attribute 'get___doc__'

======================================================

I'm running Python 2.3.4 on a Linux 2.4 x86 box, if
that matters.

Any ideas on how I can get distutils to install?

Thanks,
  Damon
