Does that file exist?

Yes it does.

I put some prints in ... argv0_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.executable)) print argv0_path landmark = os.path.join(argv0_path, "Modules", "Setup") print landmark if not os.path.isfile(landmark): python_build = 0 print "python_build = 0" elif os.path.isfile(os.path.join(argv0_path, "Lib", "os.py")): python_build = 1 print "python_build = 1" else: python_build = os.path.isfile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(argv0_path), "Lib", "os.py")) print "else" print python_build del argv0_path, landmark ...

And get ... /usr/local/src/utils/Python-2 /usr/local/src/utils/Python-2/Modules/Setup else 0 running build ...

Could this breaking because I build outside of the source tree?
