I've made a patch with all the 'Hardware Drivers' strings replaced with 'Proprietary Drivers' for the latest revision found in the lp:jockey branch, revision 629, but I'm unable to build it. Installed python-distutils-extra, but the ./setup.py build command fails, ./setup.py --help fails too, starting with the messages:

Could you please help me with some instructions, 'cause I've never used python build tools, and to test the new strings, I'd really need it. Or should I just attach the patch and would anybody be kind to build it and test it? Thanks in advance for your help.
