Same problem here with 0.6.4.
Same problem here too, upgrading from 0.6-r1 to 0.6.4.

I can't seem to change the 'assigned to' field, so adding python@gentoo.org to CC to get this on their radar. Also, I tried changing severity to blocker, since the bug is stopping me from bootstrapping a system, but I cannot due to Bugzilla permissions. I also tried 0.6.4, 0.6.6, and 0.6.8 as the original poster. No change. I did some debugging, and here's what I found. distutils.eclass distutils_src_prepare() overwrites a package's distribute_setup.py, making it basically an empty, do-nothing file so that packages don't use their own distribute_setup.py. However, the setup.py for all versions of setuptools I've tried explicitly tries to import a method (_before_install) that was in the original file. This makes setuptools fail, consistently. Help! I'm only recently new to Python (literally 1 week), otherwise I'd probably be able to submit a patch as well. bug #292095 is undoubtedly a duplicate of this.
