[issue11353] Python 2.7.1 cannot be built by 2.x baselines of Python

New submission from David <w004dal at xsmail.com>:

I tried to download and install the latest Python tarball (2.7.1) and use Python 2.6 to execute "setup.py".

I got the error "No module named sysconfig" when running setup.py. "sysconfig" was introduced with Python 3.2 (per http://docs.python.org/dev/library/sysconfig.html).

I am running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and Python 2.6 trying to update to 2.7.x since Django does not support Python 3.x. It seems like a lot of trouble to install Python 3.x to downgrade to the Python version I need.

Recommend providing deb source packages that can be built on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10, or fixing this bug.
