Nope. In Debian, your network interfaces are defined in
/etc/network/interfaces. Use "ifup eth0" to bring up eth0. Anything
with "sysconfig" in it is a RedHatism, I think?

Just point your web browser at http://www.python.org/search/ and look
for "program", "doesn't", "work", or "my". Whenever you find someone
else whose program didn't work, don't do what they did. Repeat as
needed.           -- Tim Peters, on python-help, 16 Jun 1998
