DistutilsExtra problem

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 16837 / 3 Years ago, sun, august 29, 2021, 4:55:20

I have installed Python 2.7, setuptools and python-distutils-extra.

When I try to run ./setup.py build to compile C I get following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./setup.py", line 26, in <module>

    from DistUtilsExtra.command import *

ImportError: No module named DistUtilsExtra.command

I beleive it has something to do with paths, but I am fairly new to Linux OS.

I am working on source /opt/project_name/bin/activate. It is a Django project.

Any ideas?
