Installation from source fails (log attached)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Ubuntu 12.04
2. Install python3.2
3. Checkout pydicom from source
4. uncomment python3 lines from setup.py
5. execute "sudo python3.2 setup.py install"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect a successful installation. Instead, I get some error message.

Too bad, I wanted to start a graphical DICOM editor / data generator.

What version of the product are you using?

source version: 0c384e69c4a1

Thanks for the bug report. This is actually a bug in setuptools that was fixed 
in versions >= 0.6.17. The problem is that we were using version 0.6.10 by 
default.

I have attached a patch for distribute_setup.py that changes this default 
version to 0.6.17. I will do some more testing to ensure that this change has 
no adverse effects before committing it to the source tree but I've been able 
to successfully install pydicom using the attached change.

I'll keep this issue open until the verification is done.

Clarification: I meant DISTRIBUTE rather than setuptools.
