[Distutils] Problem with build_clib building PIL

[Nicolas Chauvat]

Hi folks,

I downloaded the latest PIL source tarball from pythonware.com, copied the
pil_setup.py example available from the latest Distutil (1.0.1) to
Imaging-1.1.1/setup.py, cd'd to that directory and ran
'python setup.py sdist', only to see it fail:

[nico@mybox Imaging-1.1.1]$ python setup.py sdist
running sdist
warning: sdist: manifest template 'MANIFEST.in' does not exist (using defau=
lt file list)
Traceback (innermost last):

    raise AttributeError, attr
AttributeError: get_source_files
[nico@mybox Imaging-1.1.1]$=20

I checked the file .../distutils/command/build_clib.py and it doesn't have
the missing get_source_files() method, whereas build_py.py and
build_ext.py have it.

I don't have time to figure out what the actual problem is and to come up
with a fix in case it'd be needed, I hope someone will...

[please cc me as I'm not on the list]
