The problem with this ebuild is an incorrect dependency on "dev-python/setuptools" rather than "<=dev-python/setuptools-0.6_rc5" (current stable is rc3). The error about use_setuptools() taking no arguments is caused by the dummy function the distutils.eclass puts into ez_setup.py. I will attach an ebuild that replaces this function with one that conforms to upstreams usage and corrects the dependency issue.

Created attachment 124191 [details] fixed ebuild
I've modified the dummy use_setuptools() function in distutils.eclass to ignore function arguments. Thanks for reporting ;)
Great, but what about the dependency? Upstream explicitly asks for setuptools-0.6_rc5. Dummyfying the fetching function only kills lxml's ability to install setuptools itself - which is good, because we have dependencies for that. But these dependencies should be accurate, shouldn't they? I don't know if using rc3 instead really breaks anything, but if upstream says rc5, we should provide it. Sorry for reopening, but adapting the dummy function just cures the symptoms, not the actual problem. =)
My apologies, I forgot about it. The fix is in CVS. Thanks again.
