 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign@…]:
 > Could you describe how it's broken without this file? py-setuptools and
 py25-setuptools seem to work for me without this file.

 So, it turns out it was not the file.  Instead, I did the following to fix
 the problem, '''after''' I reinstalled MacPorts from scratch:

  * The problem is described here:[[BR]]
  http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue4
   * Went with the solutions listed in msg14 and msg56 of issue4 (messages
 are repeated below).  That is, from bottom up, first applied patch
 described in http://bugs.python.org/file10198/setuptools_patch.txt
 (navigated there by going to http://bugs.python.org/issue2770 and then
 clicking on "setuptools_patch.txt") and then added "from distutils import
 log" to top of sdist.py)
   * For reference:
   {{{
 msg56 (view)    Author: gsf     Date: 2008-07-11.19:59:34

 In addition to the patch, sdist.py should include "from distutils import
 log" --
 that's where the error is coming from.

 msg14 (view)    Author: durin42         Date: 2008-05-12.18:15:58

 There's a patch which fixes the underlying problem (although not the
 missing
 import of log) at http://bugs.python.org/issue2770 which was marked as a
 duplicate
 of this issue.
 }}}

 I'm not sure if the initial error message I got was because my
 installation of MacPorts was screwed up, but when I reinstalled from
 scratch I got the same error as described in
 http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue4

 I think everyone else is going to get the same error until one of the many
 fixes described in http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue4 is
 implemented.
