Hello,
I have downloaded Python 2.2.2 and compiled. It works ok and I can run
my previously running scripts.
I have tried to build RPMS with the command :
./python setup.py bdist_rp
however, I get the following error :
line 6: Tag takes single token only: Name: Python standard library
The complete log is as follows :
<log>
muh|devrim>25: ./python setup.py bdist_rpm

library.spec'

Any hints are appreciated. Thanks.
