[Zope] MySQL-python build error

[Raymond Norton]

I am new to Zope and Linux, so I am not sure what to do about this error.

>python setup.py build

Traceback (innermost last):

  File "setup.py", line 6, in ?

    from distutils.core import setup

ImportError: No module named distutils.core

My Zope book also said I would have to edit setup.py to be sure the paths to
the include and library directories in MySQL installation were correct. I
did not see anything that  referenced the paths above the line that said "Do
not change anything below this line"

In case it helps I have the following:

RedHat 7.1
mysql 3.23.36
Database adapter ZMySQL-2.0.8
Database driver MySQL-python-0.9.0

Thanks in advance
