I did have 1.5.x installed as well as 2.1. Before I posted
to the list I made sure I only had 2.1 installed.

I also tried python2.1 setup.py install. It chokes. Complain about
distutils still.

I also did
python2.1
It came back with the correct version. I also tried to
'import distutils' and that complained as well.

Never thought I would get stuck at this stage!

 Do you have more than Python2.1 installed?  My gut reaction is its likely 
 you have 1.5.2 & 2.1 installed.  An easy way to try this is do:
 
 python2.1 setup.py install
 
 If this works (doesnt complain about distutils) I would say that you have 
 1.5.2 still installed and python is linked to python1.5.2 and not 
 python2.1.
 
 Another way to tell is to type python and check what version it starts.
