Yes. For the record (RedHat 6.1):
[dt@nipnyep dt]$ ls /usr/lib/python1.5/config/
Makefile Setup.local config.c.in makesetup
Makefile.pre.in Setup.thread install-sh python.o
Setup config.c libpython1.5.a

There should be _if you built your python from source_, or have the
python development RPMS installed (if you're on a platform that supports
RPMS - adjust to taste). The config folder contains all the details
of building a new python runtime (or shared library module), so it's
unlikely to disappear anytime soon.

No, they shouldn't - on previous platforms, I've usually built Python
from scratch, but on this box is the first time I've used RPMS exclusively
(mind you, I'm still using the Zope-2.1.4 RPM that contains its own
Python interpreter). Try:
[dt@nipnyep dt]$ rpm -qa | egrep python
python-1.5.2-7
pythonlib-1.23-1
python-devel-1.5.2-7
python-docs-1.5.2-7
python-tools-1.5.2-7
(I feel an except: clause should go here :-) The key RPM here being
python-devel-1.5.2-7.

It still looks like a local environment issue.
