[Pydns-developer] PyDNS installation fails on Fedora Core 1

[Eric S. R. <es...@sn...>]

This is probably just a distutils snafu, but as I have no experience 
with distutils troubleshooting I'm asking for help.  The error log is:

root@grelber:/nfs/snark/home/esr/src/pydns-2.3.0# python setup.py install
running install
Traceback (most recent call last):

There is no config directory under /usr/lib/python2.2/, either on grelber
or any of my other machines with Python installed.

A right is not what someone gives you; it's what no one can take from you.
