Hello! I noticed a small problem in setuptools... workingenv (version 0.6.5-py2.4), in some instances, adds a comment-line "# Duplicating setuptools' site.py..." into the beginning of site.py (workingenv.py, line 1214). Problem is that easy_install.py checks if the existing file site.py starts with "def __boot():", and if it doesn't, it raises an error. I fixed the problem in my own environment by skipping empty and comment-lines in easy_install.py (fixed file attached). I just thought to inform you of the problem... feel free to take my fix into setuptools if you like my way to fix the problem. Best regards, Lauri Hallila
