stevedore depends on distribute and thus fails to bootstrap distribute if setuptools >= 0.7 is installed since newer distribute versions exit with an error if such a version is found. Unrelated but since virtualenvwrapper depends on stevedore (and is thus broken at runtime as well w/ setuptools >= 0.7): The same goes for virtualenvwrapper < 4.0 by the way. dev-python/stevedore-0.9.1 has been released a short while ago which does no longer hard depend on distribute or try to bootstrap it. I have not tested it against virtualenvwrapper yet though. Reproducible: Always

Ian, thanks for your swift action. You can lift the <setuptools-0.7 requirement from stevedore-0.9.1 though because like I explained earlier, that version no longer depends on distribute (and tries to bootstrap it if not found) and works fine w/ setuptools >= 0.7 (just tested btw).
