distutils, No module named numpy.distutils.fcompiler.conv_template

[Luis Alberto Zarrabeitia Gomez]

I'm trying to compile the wrappers for ANN (Approximate Nearest Neighbor) from
http://scipy.org/scipy/scikits/wiki/AnnWrapper, either the main one (scikits) or
the attachment in the main page.

However, the command "python setup.py build" produces the exception:

  "ImportError: No module named numpy.distutils.fcompiler.conv_template"

There is no conv_template in numpy.distutils.fcompiler, but there is one at
numpy.distutils. Grepping for conv_template at /usr/lib/python2.5/distutils/
produces no results, and grepping for it at
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/ returns only 

==
/[...]/numpy/distutils/command/build_src.py:from numpy.distutils.conv_template
import process_file as process_c_file
/[...]/numpy/distutils/command/build_src.py:                       
log.info("conv_template:> %s" % (target_file))
==

i.e, it is being imported from distutils and not from fcompiler. 

What's going on here? It is an ubuntu bug? (intrepid) Am I missing some
packages? This happens regardless of if the ANN library exists or not.

If I try to softlink the distutils/conv_template.py module to the fcompiler
directory, I start getting the same symptoms with other modules:
numpy_distribution, extension, interactive.
