#1 error in line 212 upon execution

I dunno if this is bug or I'm just clueless about
Python...

I tried curator 1.1.2 and 1.2, and I get the same
message in both of them (using 1.1.2 the line number is
199 though):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/curator-1.2", line 212, in ?
from distutils.fancy_getopt \
ImportError: No module named distutils.fancy_getopt

It looks like I'm supposed to load some kind of Python
module? I checked the Python site for
"distutils.fancy_getopt" and found nothing.

Environment: Debian mixed releases (some stable, some
testing, some unstable), kernel 2.2.19pre17, Python
2.1.1, also tried with Python 2.2 and get same results.

OK, I did some more digging and found out there's a
"fancy_getopt" module I'm supposed to load. Can someone
point me to its location? Google returns a bunch of docs,
etc talking *about* this module, but not where I can
download it.

I installed the one that's in Debian stable; looks like it's
for Python 1.5. So there's probably a different one for
Pthon 2.1? I manually created a subdirectory of
/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/ called "distutils" and
copied
/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/distutils/fancy_getopt.py*
into it, but still got this error.

Yeah, yeah, this is turning more into a Python question, but
can anyone here give me the "quick and dirty" answer?

to solve your little problem, install (according your python version):
* python1.5-distutils
* python2.1-dev
* python2.2-dev

there you go..

a little re-post for the sake of warning the people
monitoring this request. it seems i wasn't logged in on the
previous one (and you did not receive an email as a result).

so information available in the previous post

..and that was me :)

kind regards,
pirre.
