I was trying to install the SystemConfig python wrapper in order to use Nicholas Riley's OpenVPN helper script (http://njr.sabi.net/2005/08/04/overriding-dns-for-domains-in-os-x-tiger/ )

I'm not a python expert by any stretch, but when I ran "setup.py install", I got this error:

warngin: no files found matching '*' under directory 'build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.4/SystemConfiguration/UNSystemConfiguration.framework'

finds the files and eliminates the warning.

Is this something which should be fixed? Or did I misunderstand something about the install process? If I just failed to read some instructions, then forgive my oversight.
