[Distutils] stdeb-0.3 error

[Gerry Reno]

sudo easy_install stdeb  # brought in stdeb 0.3

Traceback (most recent call last):

"bin"))
NameError: name '__file__' is not defined


=========================================================

The error is coming from the setup.py line:

import imp
import sys
import os
import glob

from distutils.core import setup, Command
from distutils.command.install import install

if os.name == 'nt':
    import py2exe

sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 
"bin"))

===========================================================

I do not get this error when I run setup.py normally for other commands 
like 'sdist'.

How can I fix this?
