Summary:                    python lib path change breaks module
Description: 
After the change from lib/python2.6 to lib/python, the pysetuptools package
isn't found by python using from ... or import.  A modified sys.path (or
whatever the python lingo is) would fix this, but it should be repackaged
to the new lib path.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Now that the new python and cswclassutils are installed on the build farm,
I will start re-packaging the python modules.  I was in a holding pattern
until the cswclassutils package was released.

The newly packaged module seems to fix the import problem for the module
itself, but now, it can't find distutils:

I have the following packages installed:
CSWpysetuptools
0.6,REV=2009.06.05_rev=c9
CSWpython
2.6.2,REV=2009.05.28
CSWpython-rt
2.6.2,REV=2009.05.28

The error reported now is:
 ==> Running setup.py install in work/build-isa-i386/gitosis-0.2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setup.py", line 2, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup, find_packages

distutils is part of python_devel

Should setuputils depend on python_devel then?
