Problems installing MySQL Utilities

[JustSomeGuy]

My server:
CENTOS 5.10 i686 standard
WHM 11.42.1 (build 25)

I have downloaded MySQL Utilities and attempted to install.
The following is what I have done but receiving error:

wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/mysql-utilities-1.4.4.tar.gz
tar xvzf mysql-utilities*
cd mysql-utilities-1.4.4
chmod +x setup.py
./setup.py build

But receiving the following error:

./setup.py build
  File "./setup.py", line 234
    except DistutilsFileError as err:
                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Can anyone shed some light on what the issue may be?
If Python needs to be upgraded, what is the safe way of doing so?
Thanks

Hello

Have you tried installing the package through an RPM instead of from source? What installation instructions are you using?

Thank you.

Right, you have to install a repository that includes "mysql-utilities" if you want to install it through YUM. Have you considered installing the RPM directly and not through YUM?

MySQL :: MySQL Utilities :: 1 How to Install MySQL Utilities

Note that this application is not natively supported by cPanel.

Thank you.
