Python setup script problem

[John Ling]

Hello, I have been trying to install an application which requires Python:
http://chip.dfci.harvard.edu/~wli/MAT/

My environment is AIX 5.2. Below is the section of the setup that has
failed, which BTW works fine on Fedora 5.
I suspect it has to do with Python on AIX and/or the setup.py script.
Has anyone experienced this before?
