[Gnuplot-py-users] Installation problems from newbie

[<ma...@sc...>]

I've tried to install gnuplot-py but I've suddenly had a bad problem.
I've tried:

python setup.py install

but I've received:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 14, in ?
    from distutils.core import setup
ImportError: No module named distutils.core

I use a SuSE SLED 10 and these are the packages I've installed:
python-2.4.2-18.2
python-numeric-24.2-14.2
python-numpy-1.0.1-0.pm.1
...

Of course I also have installed gnuplot that I can use without problem.
I've searched in the interactive interface python->help()->modules and
distutils.core doesn't appear.
Can anyone help me? Please?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Stefano C.
