That appears to help with 2.6 and 2.7, but with 2.5 I still get:

$ python2.5 -S bootstrap.py
The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c11) is not available, and
can't be installed while this script is running. Please install
  a more recent version first, using 'easy_install -U setuptools'.

(Currently using setuptools 0.6c9 
(/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python))

cheers,

Chris
