I just got some space on a VPS server(running on ubuntu 8.04), and I'm trying to install django on it. The server has python 2.5 installed, but I guess its non standard installation. When I run install script for django, I get
amitoj@ninja:~/Django-1.2.1$ python setup.py install Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 1, in <module> from distutils.core import setup ImportError: No module named distutils.core I'm stumped. All the articles on internet tell me how to install modules using distutils. But how do I get distutils itself? Can anyone point me to the archive for distutils? I looked in /usr/lib/local/python2.5, /usr/lib/python2.5 etc, and as expected there is no distutils to be found.

The distutils package provides support for building and installing additional modules into a Python installation. The new modules may be either 100%-pure Python, or may be extension modules written in C, or may be collections of Python packages which include modules coded in both Python and C.
I know this is an old question, but I just come across the same issue using Python 3.6 in Ubuntu, and I am able to solve it using the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3-distutils If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
