IIRC, you need to install 'python-dev' which includes the distutils package.

distutils is part of the python core distribution, though I guess it
gets broken out by some package managers. I don't know how openSUSE does
it. But the error you are getting has nothing to do with cElementTree or
paramiko.

loss of functionality, but it is *much* slower.
