Yeah, again it seems to be subtle environmental issues. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, never with a useful error message :-( It's mainly for setup.py - the hooks that override normal distutils functionality seem to be the flaky bit. The errors generally seem to be coming from core distutils, when I should be running setuptools (things like "unknown option, --single-version-externally-managed" even though setuptools is on sys.path). Not worth wasting any more time over, in my opinion.
