Summary:                    Missing dependency on CSWpython-devel?
Description: 
Just installed CSWpysetuptools and easy_install bailed out on me. Upon
installation of CSWpython-devel (which contains distutils) the error below
goes away.

skayser @ ray1 ~$ easy_install

This has been fixed: CSWpython now includes distutils, and the distutils
package is gone.
