[Distutils] newbie bootstrap question

[David Kim]

Thanks Jim, I think you are correct. The result of the script you provided
returned 'None'. Unfortunately, I commented out the "try" code...

> #try:

#    import pkg_resources

#except ImportError:


and left the "except" code...

ez = {}

exec urllib2.urlopen('http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py'

                         ).read() in ez

ez['use_setuptools'](to_dir=tmpeggs, download_delay=0)


> import pkg_resources


...but got the same error.

I am running the OS X EPD distribution, which uses Enstaller (built on
setuptools). Could this have something to do with it?

Many thanks for the help,

DK
