[Distutils] distutils install probs on suse 9.0

[Floris van der Tak]

Dear Distutils,

my attempt to install the distutils on suse 9.0 (which provides python
2.3) fails:

python/Distutils-1.0.2> python setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 30, in ?
    packages = ['distutils', 'distutils.command'],
  File "/home/floris/lib/python/Distutils-1.0.2/distutils/core.py", line
101, in setup
    _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs)
  File "/home/floris/lib/python/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__'


Your help would be appreciated,
