Due to system problems, had to switch distros and wound up using Libranet (Debian-based primarily Sarge). When updated, this distro installs python 2.3.3, but is apparently missing something. I unpacked the positron 1.1 source, applied alecm's patch1 to fix the NDBM rebuild incompatibility, then tried to build positron. The following ensued:

hal:~/pkgs/positron-1.1$ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 22, in ?
from distutils.core import setup
ImportError: No module named distutils.core
hal:~/pkgs/positron-1.1$

Searches of the python 2.3 lib directory, and the slocate database find no match to 'distutils', and I can find no .deb package by that name. Does anyone know the magic incantation (and will you share)?

TIA,
Hal

Ok, bad etiquette, but to answer my own query, If you run Libranet (and
maybe other Debian-based packages using Python 2.3.3), you need to
install the package 'python2.3-dev' to get the 'distutils' module(s).
After installing this package, positron built just fine.

You can also apt-get install positron (1.1.0-5 is in unstable).

Erm, actually it is version 1:1.0-5 (1.0, fifth Debian revision).
