failed installation with pip

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've been able to install ruffus 2.2 using pip, but trying 2.4beta3 gives an 
error (easy_install still works fine). Could  there be some packaging issue 
here? 

Installing in a virtualenv, the error I get is:

{{{

Ruffus uses easy install but really I should pull the plug and go with pip 
instead.

In the meantime, you may need to run
pip install ez_setup
