[Distutils] Python package inquiry

[Anna Ravenscroft]

Hi Meradj,

Are you in the Python interpreter when you type that? If so, that's your
problem. You need to be at your normal command prompt. Open a new shell or
terminal and type that command first.

If you've already started Python and are in the interpreter, that would
indeed, give you a syntax error.
