python setup utils problems

[mlh%goathill.org@localhost (MLH)]

There appear to be problems with Python setup utils now

While building time/py-iso8601

First:
The std
  from distutils import setup
doesn't work and .core has to be specified:
  from distutils.core import setup
so setup isn't getting connected properly

(setuptools.setup gets the same errors as below)

Second:
 when setup calls pkg_resources.parse_map() the data is always empty:

gdata 2.0.18 <class 'pkg_resources.EntryPoint'> <generator object _get_metadata at 0x7f7ff7274050>
None []
numpy 1.8.0 <class 'pkg_resources.EntryPoint'> <generator object _get_metadata at 0x7f7ff7274050>
None []
gnuplot-py 1.8 <class 'pkg_resources.EntryPoint'> <generator object _get_metadata at 0x7f7ff7274050>
None []
python-gammu 1.33.0 <class 'pkg_resources.EntryPoint'> <generator object _get_metadata at 0x7f7ff7274050>
None []
pyserial 2.7 <class 'pkg_resources.EntryPoint'> <generator object _get_metadata at 0x7f7ff7274050>
None []
roman 2.0.0 <class 'pkg_resources.EntryPoint'> <generator object _get_metadata at 0x7f7ff7274050>
None []
pysqlite 2.6.3 <class 'pkg_resources.EntryPoint'> <generator object _get_metadata at 0x7f7ff7274050>
None []
html2text 2014.12.29 <class 'pkg_resources.EntryPoint'> <generator object _get_metadata at 0x7f7ff7274050>

so:

  File "/usr/pkg/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 266, in __init__
    for ep in pkg_resources.iter_entry_points('distutils.setup_keywords'):

    entries = dist.get_entry_map(group)
  File "/usr/pkg/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2648, in get_entry_map
    self._get_metadata('entry_points.txt'), self
  File "/usr/pkg/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2402, in parse_map
    raise ValueError("Entry points must be listed in groups")
ValueError: Entry points must be listed in groups
