distutils linux script installation broken?

[Christopher De Vries]

I just installed python2.4 and used it to install a set of scripts I
had previously been using distutils with. It worked fine, and replaced
the first line with:

#!/usr/local/bin/python2.4

distutils should replace that first line with the location of the
binary used to run setup.py. Are you running setup with the following
command line?

python setup.py install
