You have a module called "calendar" in your user directory
/usr/people/emami/calendar.py which is shadowing the stdlib
calendar module -- which doesn't get used much so you've
probably never noticed. Either rename your local one or take
your home folder off the Python path... at least for long enough
for ez_setup to do its stuff.
