I pulled the release22-maint branch today and tried to build on UnixWare 7 It looks like changes to setup.py and Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py broke the build.

Oops.

At least if there is no pre existing python installed.

Well, if was reading the previous Python's config, that would be broken too.

Can you work out why Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py isn't setting python_build? I suggest some debugging 'print's.

Cheers, M.
