[Distutils] NameError: global name 'log' is not defined

[Michael Schmarck]

Hello.

I'm trying to install Trac, and it failed with a
NameError: global name 'log' is not defined
error message. Because of that, I found the
"the svn >= 1.5 bug with setuptools/command/sdist.py:
global name 'log' is not defined" thread from
August 2008 at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-August/009883.html

Now I'm trying to solve that problem. I tried:

easy_install -U setuptools==dev

This fails:

NameError: global name 'log' is not defined


Python 2.5.2 is installed in /export/home/.software/Python-2.5.2.

This is a Sun Solaris 10 Sparc system, if it matters.

What can be done to solve this problem?

Cheers,

Michael
