Comment 2 for bug 1187452

On the mailing list, Monty Taylor suggested creating the virtualenv with --distribute. This solved the initial problem and setup.py ran to completion with no errors and 0 exit status.

The next problem that I ran into is that setup.py doesn't actually install the dependencies and quantum won't run after it completes. Reverting the commit mentioned above still fixes this problem. So, I'm keeping this bug open. I've attached a new log showing these attempts. I still see this problem on both Mac OS and Linux.

Regarding --distribute. Can this not be fixed? I think we'll see questions about this on the mailing list for a long time to come.
