py2exe and distutils

[Maxim Demenko]

Hi,
i have installed Python 2.5.4 on WinXP, setuptools-0.6c9 and py2exe 0.6.9
Now i can't list installed modules, here is the stacktrace:



help> modules

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "C:\Programme\Python25\lib\site.py", line 346, in __call__
     return pydoc.help(*args, **kwds)
   File "C:\Programme\Python25\lib\pydoc.py", line 1649, in __call__
     self.interact()

     self.help(request)
   File "C:\Programme\Python25\lib\pydoc.py", line 1683, in help
     elif request == 'modules': self.listmodules()

     from dist import _get_unpatched
   File "C:\Programme\Python25\Lib\site-packages\setuptools\dist.py", 
line 27, in <module>
     _Distribution = _get_unpatched(_Distribution)
   File "C:\Programme\Python25\Lib\site-packages\setuptools\dist.py", 
line 23, in _get_unpatched
     "distutils has already been patched by %r" % cls
AssertionError: distutils has already been patched by <class 
py2exe.Distribution at 0x011B4F90>

Any suggestion, how to fix this issue?

Best regards
