Maybe you should do this:

import pkg_resources print list(pkg_resources.working_set) print sys.path

And send me the result.

OK, here goes:

import sys import pkg_resources print list(pkg_resources.working_set)

[setuptools 0.6c1 (/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c1-py2.4.egg), nose 0.9.0 (/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages)]

Aha! It just occurred to me that a bug I thought was fixed in 0.6c1 is actually only fixed in 0.6c2 (not yet released).

Could you try installing 0.6.c2dev-r50757, via:

 easy_install setuptools==dev06

and see if that fixes your problem? I think this is an already-fixed bug. I thought it was limited to case-insensitive filesystems (e.g. Windows), but it looks like it would also apply to symlinks, and produce the results you're seeing.

Yep, that fixes it.

Thanks! Kevin
