[Distutils] bdist_wininst TypeError

[Mike]

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
