[csw-users] python broken?

[Gerard Henry]

hello all,

i have problems with python, failing to install virtualenv 
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv).
I've tried with easy_install and other methods, and it always fails, 
claiming about md5 module (not _md5)

t2000-root% /opt/csw/bin/python virtualenv.py my_new_env
New python executable in my_new_env/bin/python
Installing setuptools......
   Complete output from command 
/donnees/virtualenv/my_new_env/bin/python -c "#!python
\"\"\"Bootstra...sys.argv[1:])

" --always-copy -U setuptools:

any idea?

thanks in advance for help,
