Ok, so it's only for module distributions? I assumed it could package Python itself as well, because it creates a *.spec file that reads like this: %define name Python %define version 2.7.3 %define unmangled_version 2.7.3 %define release 1 Summary: A high-level object-oriented programming language > Okay, here is something for you to try in the meantime.

In the meantime I have started a thread on the "distutils" mailing list, so as not to spam "Tutor" with my build woes. regards, Sean
