how to install python distutils

Question

I just got some space on a VPS server(running on ubuntu 8.04), and I\'m trying to install django on it. The server has python 2.5 installed, but I guess its non standard install

Answer 1

If you are unable to install with either of these:

sudo apt-get install python-distutils
sudo apt-get install python3-distutils

Try this instead:

sudo apt-get install python-distutils-extra
