You can always search the cache with:
apt-cache search python
or
apt-cache search python-dev
to get less noise.

Indeed it is but what tripped me up was it was not python-devel it is actually
python-dev
Not quite a developer so didn’t think of trying -dev … :-)

Ah, now it works. Would be great to see this info in the build & install
doc/wiki.
It's in the installation manual, section 15.1, as it said in the message
you received.
… checking that Python has a working distutils... configure: error:
***** Distutils is not available or is incomplete for /usr/bin/python
***** If you installed Python from RPM (or other package manager)
***** be sure to install the -devel package, or install Python

The manual is in various formats in the doc/ subdirectory of the
directory into which you unpacked and ran ./configure. I.e.,
doc/mailman-install/index.html, doc/mailman-install.dvi,
doc/mailman-install.pdf, doc/mailman-install.ps and doc/mailman-install.txt.
It is also online. See <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node48.html>
for the relevant section.
