Compilation of Xen sources (from xen-unstable tar), on a Mandrake 10.1 linux
system, aborts with the following message:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "setup.py", line 47, in ?

Anyone has a idea of how to resolve the problem ?

Are you using "frsh enough" version of python (ie. mentioned on xen's 
homepage)?

Python 2.3 should certainly work OK. It looks rather like Mandrake's python devel package might be botched. It might be worth checking whether there's bug fix rpms available...

Alternatively, just install your own version of python from source from python.org. It's easy to build and install.
