Hi there,

Trying the beta-fix branch on python 2.6.5 with distribute (0.6.13)  I
get the following error when bootstrapping:

Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__getstate__'
An error occured when trying to install zc.buildout. Look above this
message for any errors that were output by easy_install.

What strikes me as peculiar is why setuptools is downloaded while I
have distribute installed, but that might be normal, I don't know.

Regards,
