Strange. There must be an old 'ly' module lying around on your system,
because pkginfo was already added quite some time ago.
Please, give me the result of:
$ python
import ly
ly.__path__
ly.__file__
Nailed it, Wilbert! It seems that I must be the first person to install
python-ly as well as Adam Spiers' ly2video. That's a really cool utility
which takes a .ly project, compiles to MIDI and ultimately gives an AVI
file with the score scrolling past over the synchronised MIDI.

Adam's .egg file exists as a .zip and inside the .zip is a folder named
ly. I'm copying this to the -dev list because it might be wise for the
LilyPond community to restrict the name ly for core lilypond use only. A
major strength of LilyPond is the community of supporting and
supplemental utilities which has grown around LP, but the risk of this
sort of conflict will probably only grow, especially as "ly" is an
obvious name for a folder.
@devel: The problem comes from installing python-ly for the new 2.18
version of Frescobaldi, which makes Frescobaldi look for a folder named
"ly" outside its own code. It uses the first one it finds on the path,
opening the possibility that a conflicting version is found first, with
the result that Frescobaldi errors off.
Cheers,
Colin
