Summary: illegal version 1.0.2pre
Initial Comment:
Description:
The version in distutils/__init__ doesn't conform to
the strict versioning guidelines in distutils/version,
resulting in failure when trying to use distutils to
install 4Suite (and perhaps other modules).
Workaround:
Hand-edit distutils/__init__.py to remove "pre".
Pointers to vital stuff in code:
Lib/distutils/__init__.py:
__version__ = "1.0.2pre"
Lib/distutils/version.py:
A version number consists of two or three dot-
separated numeric components, with an optional "pre-
release" tag on the end. The pre-release tag consists
of the letter 'a' or 'b' followed by a number.
Demonstration of problem:
Python 2.1 (#1, Apr 18 2001, 10:49:25)
[GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on sunos5
