No idea, never seen this before. I use the same setuptools version under Py2.6.2, and it works perfectly well.

Have you tried the bdist_egg target instead of a mere "install"?

Also, the way setuptools patches into distutils makes it quite possible that newer Python releases introduce incompatibilities, so maybe there's an issue over there.

I was running build_ext in most cases. Didn't try bdist_egg. Anyway my dependency on that version of python is over for now, so if it is in fact an issue with py2.6+, we'll all find out soon enough. thanks for the help.
