Looks like a formatting issue in entry_points...like a missing [ or ]
Was this from the source at PyPI or a source from Gentoo ?
Try this:
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> list(pkg_resources.split_sections(open('distribute.egg-info/entry_points.txt').read()))
If it fails on Gentoo but works from the PyPI, you likely to have a typo there.
Note: the egg-info dir is created with "python setup.py egg_info"
