  * owner:  jmr@… => mcalhoun@…
  * status:  assigned => new
  * port:  py26-distribute => python26 py26-xml


Comment:

 So anyway, distribute is innocently asking for the Mac OS version, which
 inside python core library code leads to the py26-xml version of the
 pyexpat module being loaded rather than the built-in, which then fails to
 load.
