 Installing py33-enchant I got the following error (full log attached):

 }}}

 This seems to be due to the inclusion of distribute_setup, which attempts
 to download and install setuptools 0.6.10. First off, the use of
 distribute_setup should be unnecessary since py33-enchant depends on
 py33-setuptools (currently @6.0.2). However, the error occurs in
 `distribute_setup.py:109`, which tries to build the setuptools egg using
 setuptools cli syntax:

 {{{#!python
 _python_cmd('setup.py', '-q', 'bdist_egg', '--dist-dir', to_dir)
 }}}

 In the setuptools at 0.6.10 downloaded from pypi, that setup.py file requires
 distutils syntax (`install` rather than `bdist_egg`).

 To solve this, either the circular dependency on setuptools needs to be
 removed from `distribute_setup.py`, or maybe distribute_setup can be
 dropped all together. For me, commenting out the following lines from the
 top of py33-enchant's setup.py worked as a work-around:

 {{{#!python
 #import distribute_setup
 #distribute_setup.use_setuptools()
 }}}
