Summary: cannot use crypt module

Initial Comment:
I have downloaded the BeOpen-Python-2.0-1.i386.rpm from
www.python.org and installed fine. 

However, I cannot use the crypt module which is
described in the documentation.

>>> import crypt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named crypt

Also if I do rpm -qpl on BeOpen-Python-2.0-1.i386.rpm,
there is crypt.py in the whole rpm file.

Crypt is a built-in that must be enabled at compile time.

Apparently we forgot about this when building the RPMs.

You can build from source though -- download the source code
tarball from python.org/2.0/.
