Running "setup.py egg_info" results in exactly the error I posted. A  
chicken and egg problem, I suppose. ;-)

Note that the error is raised from the "ez_setup.use_setuptools()"  
call in setup.py. If I just import setuptools without going through  
ez_setup, everything works fine. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Chris
