It sounds like your installation of setuptools is broken somehow. That's definitely unexpected and I've never seen it before. I don't think it has anything to do with my end.

Try reinstalling it as described here?

@earwig - Yeah, I can't figure it out. I'll close this.

You have any ideas how to get around using setuptools? Really love this package man, great work.

THX.
