Ok, out of nowhere easy_install is just giving me "OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum" errors, even if run without arguments. It should just display command line usage info but I get this instead:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return self.loader.get_data(path)
OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

Tracing the error, it comes up with importing pkg_resource:

from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

Does anyone have any idea what is going on? This used to work before.
