Paul, If you have distribute installed in your site-packages (whether or not you have the port/package installed), you'll want to remove that as well. Background: In the past year the Python team have taken (in order) the following steps to track changes in Python packaging: 1) Replace setuptools 0.6.x with distribute 2) Replace distribute with setuptools 0.7.x+ [1] Note that setuptools (0.6 and 0.7+) and distribute *all* provide the 'setuptools' python module and corresponding files. py-distribute was deleted on Nov 29 2013 [2]. For more detail on the effect having multiple or stale versions of these left installed, see: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-python/2014-April/006828.html [1] https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/merge.html [2] http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=335167 We're also available to assist on #freebsd-python on IRC (freenode) if you need anything :) Koobs _______________________________________________ freebsd-python@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-python To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-python-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
