What version of python comes with RH2.1?

In any case, the online documentation for python suggests that it is
reasonable to expect that distutils is already installed (by default for
python >= 1.6, and by the user for python 1.5.2). See:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/dist/intro.html

If there are no other objections, I'll commit the attached in about 24
hours.

Thanks,
