distutils/python & gnue

[Mike]

I obtained 2.1 via dselect (Debian "testing"). I agree,
there must be something wrong with the package.

I did uninstall all python packages yesterday, rebooted, and
then installed 2.1, then rebooted. 

Never had a problem like this before with deb packages :-(

 Sounds like you have a poorly packaged or compiled python.  As disutils 
 should be standard in python2.1.
 
 Can you tell me how you obtained this version of python? (rpm, deb, 
 source, etc) and from where.
  
 What distro are you using? (mandrake, redhat, debian, etc)
 
 Also, if you want real time help stop by irc.openprojects.net 
 #gnuenterprise
