[Pythonmac-SIG] Cannot import name PyPIRCCommand

[Chris Weisiger]

This is really bizarre. I have a Python program that I've built many times
successfully in the past. Now I'm getting this error when I try to build it.
Nothing in the program itself has changed since I last built it
successfully, and I'm fairly confident that I haven't changed my Python
install either, so I have no idea why the build process would be different
now. Here's the full traceback:

ImportError: cannot import name PyPIRCCommand


I'm not able to cd into the egg to examine its contents, sadly, so I can't
figure out what exactly it's trying to do. Has anyone seen an error like
this before?
