distutils has a build rpm option which works, eg python setup.py bdist_rpm I usually run debian systems, so I then run alien on the resulting rpm to turn it into a .deb. I always install python packages like this - it has worked every time so far! -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
