Need to add a conditional import for systems that do not have distutils.extra, since distutils.extra only adds the i18n setup.py commands....

[Markus Wells (mwells-wphr)]

 Hello,

 I'm new to Openstack/Nova, but I am getting this exact error. Trying to install on CentOS 5.6, and following all the OS specific instructions on openstack's site.

 Is there a workaround I can implement now to get this running?

 Thank you,

Markus

@Markus: yes, you can try to apply the patch from https://code.launchpad.net/~jaypipes/nova/bug771489/+merge/59135

[Nathanael Burton (mathrock)]

I ran into this same problem trying to build Nova on Red Hat 6.1 (x86_64) regardless of having python-distutils-extra = 2.19 installed. Removing python-distutils-extra and applying the referenced patch (https://code.launchpad.net/~jaypipes/nova/bug771489/+merge/59135) fixed the issue. Are there differences between python-distutils-extra 2.18 and up that would have broken this?
