Try running this script in your project directory:

    from ez_setup import use_setuptools
    use_setuptools()

    import sys, setuptools, pkg_resources
    print sys.path
    print pkg_resources.__file__
    print setuptools.__file__

This should tell us what's going on with your "import problem" more 
specifically.  ;-)
