invalid Python installation

[_tone_]

Hello all - I'm having problems running python scripts. I have (very stable and happy) FC8 kernel 2.6.24.5-85.fc8 (updated 2 days ago).

I get:

python setup.py install
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

Python has never reared its head for me up til now, & I have never tried running a python script before, so I'm probably missing something:

yum whatprovides /usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile

It seems I have python-devel.i386 installed, but I definately don't have the Makefile its looking for, or the config directory (my python files are all in /usr/lib/python2.5/ ). Is there something easy I need to do?

Hmm,

well I uninstalled python-devel, then re-installed it. Python is now working fine ..
