I'm seeing a similar but more nice error: >>> Emerging (5 of 5) dev-python/django-0.95 to / ... >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/django-0.95/work/Django-0.95 ... The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c1) is not available, and can't be installed while this script is running. Please install a more recent version first. This is odd since "emerge --search setuptools" tells me: * dev-python/setuptools Latest version available: 0.6_rc3 Latest version installed: 0.6_rc3 Which is 0.6c3.
Ok, should be fixed now. As far as I can tell the problem lies in the import of that ez_setup.py crap. A small sed-line removes this. Changed the dependency for setuptools to 0.6.1_rc3.
