This means that after an upgrade importing libraries which where installed with the Easy Install system will fail. >How-To-Repeat: Upgrade devel/py-setuptools. Run Python and try to import a library installed with Easy Install (for example devel/py-pytz): [douglas@slowhand:~]$ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Nov 10 2007, 23:43:31) [GCC 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305] on freebsd6 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pytz Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named pytz >>> >Fix: The current workaround is to reinstall all of the ports which use the Easy Install system. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
