distutils.core not in Debian python2.2 package

[Kent Tenney]

Howdy,

I did;
# apt-get install python2.2

# python
Python 2.2.1
...
 >>>

then checked docutils out of CVS
and did;

docutils# python ./setup.py install

ImportError: No module named distutils.core

How do I install distutils?

Thanks,
Kent
