Comment 1 Marien Zwart (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-02 12:34:18 UTC 
Which version of setuptools do you have installed?

emerge --search setuptools

Why those tools were not updated to the latest? Wrong dependency?
Comment 3 Sylvain BERTRAND 2012-04-02 22:29:03 UTC 
I forced the update... ply installed ok.

ply should ensure its minium version requierements for setuptools
Comment 4 Marien Zwart (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-03 14:23:44 UTC 
setuptools-0.6.16 (the version you had installed) blocks recent pythons (like the version of python 3.2 you had installed), presumably because of this bug. setuptools-0.6.19 (the oldest version without those blocks) seems to work.

I'm not entirely sure how you got into this situation. Perhaps we need to add some <setuptools-0.6.19 blocks to our python 3 ebuilds? Does portage not notice you have blocking packages installed?
Comment 5 Sylvain BERTRAND 2012-04-03 14:26:33 UTC 
Portage did not notice
