Package: python2.6
Version: 2.6.6-8+b1
Severity: important
Playing with the python sitelib settings, a NameError exception is raised
unexpectedly:
$ python setup.py install --no-compile --root=...
--record=INSTALLED_FILES --install-layout=unix
...
running install_egg_info
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise DistutilsOptionError(
NameError: global name 'DistutilsOptionError' is not defined
The DistutilsOptionError exception is not imported in:
`Lib/distutils/command/install_egg_info.py`
The bug is caused by Debian patching about the "--install-layout" option.
But most importantly, my main concern is that the actual logic prevents
from building rpm packages in Debian platforms due to theses lines:
++ if not self.install_layout.lower() in ['deb']:
++ raise DistutilsOptionError(
++ "unknown value for --install-layout")
Why 'unix' value is not allowed if explicitly specified in line arguments ?
