Hi Leslie,

I face the same problem:

---

Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.38.tar.gz

Extracting in /tmp/tmplcqzT1

Now working in /tmp/tmplcqzT1/distribute-0.6.38

Building a Distribute egg in /beegfs/common/galaxy/home/server/database/tmp/tmp-toolshed-mtdqsavtj/galaxy_sequence_utils-1.0.0

It might be an issue that distribute is not maintained any more (v0.6.38 is used, 0.7.3 was latest version in 2013, then migrated to setuptools).

If you probably have updated setuptools (mine is version 18.3.1), it might cause the error.

I tried to modify setup.py to use version 0.6.49 of distribute, but got the same error.

Best,

Sven
