[Zope] can't install external editor, help

[aamehl]

Hi all,

I am trying to install the helper app of the external editor program,
when I run install I get an error:ImportError: No module named
distutils.core.

I guessed that distutils.core was contained in the python-dev package so
I did an apt-get install python2.3-dev.
But still the same error. Then I installed python-dev with no better
results.


Anyone out there can tell me what I am missing?

thanks
Aaron
