    ....2.2-7 or newer RPMs on this page, distutils should work. Note that this seems to be fixed in the Red Hat 9 release (which uses Python 2.2.2 and has a patched distutils). Q. When trying to build RPMs, I get "rpmbuild: command not found". A. The "rpmbuild" command is part of a separate RPM named "rpm-build". You will need to install this package before you can build RPMs. Q. Is it safe to install these RPMs on a Red Hat system? Will they over-write the system pytho...
