[Distutils] Setuptools/Distribute error with 0.7.2

[Liam Kirsher]

Hi --
I'm hoping for some help with an error I'm suddenly getting with
distribute, setuptools.
It had been working fine, and seemingly overnight it stopped working.  I
really don't think I changed anything.
This is part of a chef recipe, which also installs virtualenv.
It appears that a new version 0.7.2 is downloaded, but it fails to
install, and then the rollback fails, as well.

Not sure quite what is wrong here and how to fix it!
