Do you get the same result if you put those Python statements in a file
(typically named setup.py) and run it in the Windows "Command Prompt"
window as shown in the manual:

http://docs.python.org/inst/standard-install.html

instead of using pyshell? Where/how are you supplying the "install"
argument when using pyshell?

My distutils is where I'd expect it to be (C:\Python24\Lib\distutils)
because that's where the standard Python installation puts it relative
to my choice of the Python installation directory (C:\Python24).
How did yours end up like that? Did you download distutils and install
it as a separate package? If so, how did you install it?
What version of Python are you using?
