    If I knew Python, maybe I could figure this out.  I'm trying to install on SUSE 10.0 and get the following error on install

    > sudo python setup.py install
    Password:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "setup.py", line 11, in ?
        from tools.gsudoku_distutils import setup
      File "/home/dewy/tarballs/gnome-sudoku-0.4.0/tools/gsudoku_distutils.py", line 17, in ?
        from distutils.core import Command
    ImportError: No module named distutils.core

    Is this maybe due to SUSE using different locations for Python modules?

      I answered the questin myself.  I hope this is a help to others.  The python-devel package must be installed to use distutils.

      distutils were in the regular python package up to 2.2.2, but I missed that detail.
