Sorry to ask, but I'm having with the first step of the buildout

Traceback (most recent call last): File "bootstrap.py", line 76,

ws.find(pkg_resources.Requirement.parse('setuptools')).location
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'location'
Unfortunately, I have no idea why this error is occurring. I am
running on OS X Leopard and was just trying to bootstrap an empty
buildout.cfg file to get things started. Tried googling the error,
but nothing came up.
Any pointers?
My guess is that you have setuptools installed in your python that
wasn't installed as an egg. What is the output of running the
following Python script:
import pkg_resources
ws = pkg_resources.working_set
print ws.find(pkg_resources.Requirement.parse('setuptools'))
?
The bootstrap script has a try/except that tries to import pkg_utils.
If the import succeeds, it assumes that setiuptools is already
installed. Try replacing the try/except with the contents of the
except.
