Hey, this means you already installed buildout globally somehow. 
("easy_install zc.buildout", for instance?)

That bootstrap script downloads and installs buildout local to that 
buildout directory.  But you've already installed buildout globally. 
Apparently, that bites.

You mention that it *does* work in a virtualenv: yep, there you're 
isolated from the global buildout.

=> Best you remove the globally installed zc.buildout.

Alternatively you can try "python -S bootstrap.py" to run python without 
system packages.
