Add comment to Distutil files about requiring 1.5.2 compatibility, as suggested by PEP 291. 2002-11-19 13:12:28 +00:00			`# This module should be kept compatible with Python 1.5.2.`

Changed '__rcsid__' to '__revision__'. 2000-03-02 01:49:45 +00:00			`__revision__ = "$Id$"`
Added __version__ to store the Distutils version number. 2000-04-10 00:02:16 +00:00
Make the distutils version number the same as the python version. It must be literally contained here, because it is still possible to install this distutils in older Python versions. 2004-07-23 19:47:32 +00:00			`__version__ = "2.4.0"`
