distutils works just fine in 2.4. but the standard Windows distribution of Python 2.4 is compiled with a newer compiler. if you don't have a compatible compiler on your machine (or if the compiler isn't properly installed), setup won't be able to build extensions for 2.4. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
