I need help to install BitTornado, i recently downloaded the tar.gz file from bittornado page, and after untaring it, and using the "python setup.py install" command on the terminal i got this message:

hp:/home/casa/Documents/Tar/BitTornado-CVS # python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 8, in ?
from distutils.core import setup, Extension
ImportError: No module named distutils.core
hp:/home/casa/Documents/Tar/BitTornado-CVS #


Then i searched fot the python distutils, and when attempting to install it i got this other message:

hp:/home/casa/Documents/Tar/Distutils-1.0.2 # python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 30, in ?
packages = ['distutils', 'distutils.command'],
File "/home/casa/Documents/Tar/Distutils-1.0.2/distutils/core.py", line 101, in setup
_setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs)
File "/home/casa/Documents/Tar/Distutils-1.0.2/distutils/dist.py", line 130, in __init__
setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata, method_name))
AttributeError: DistributionMetadata instance has no attribute 'get___doc__'


can someone tell me what do i need to get this fixed?

1. what dist you running?
2. Have you tried just "./setup.py"
