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 in a scenario where you are using one of the latest versions of Ubuntu (or variants like Linux Mint), one which comes with Python 3.8, then you will NOT be able to have Python3.7 distutils, alias not be able to use pip or pipenv with Python 3.7, see: How to install python-distutils for old python versions

Obviously using Python3.8 is no problem.
