IIRC a Python 3-bootstrapped buildout ended up with /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages in sys.path, in my case. > Come again?!

Workaround #1: run 'bin/buildout -N' so it won't try to upgrade distribute. Workaround #2: always always always wrap your buildouts in a virtualenv. I started using a 'virtual-bootstrap' script that does #!/bin/sh rm -rf develop-eggs .installed.cfg python virtualenv --distribute python python/bin/python bootstrap.py bin/buildout "$@" and haven't encountered any issues yet.
