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.
