python installation

[heshriti]

Hi,

I tried to install this freebsd. finally got the core package compiled. but still no luck with the python interface.

When I do python setup.py install, I get this error. Tried googling, and installed and reinstalled setuptools, but no luck.
TypeError: dist must be a Distribution instance

If I do: pip install .
the error goes away, but I cant load the package in python- still gives me a package not found error.

So my question is can this package be put in the "pip packaging system".
