with the use of
python2 setup.py install, I get the following errors

File "setup.py", line 30, in ?
packages = ['distutils', 'distutils.command'],
File "distutils/core.py", line 101, in setup
_setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs)
File "distutils/dist.py", line 130, in __init__
setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata,
method_name))
AttributeError: DistributionMetadata instance has no
attribute 'get___doc__'

HELP!

Do you still have this problem with Distutils-1.0.3? That
is the version in Python 2.2.2.
