I initially posted this to mailman-users, but it was suggested that this would 
be a better list.

I'm installing Mailman for the first time, and chose to try the beta.  I'm 
installing on a Mountain Lion Server, that was cleanly installed.   I've since 
updated the OS to 10.8.1

I got as far as 'python bootstrap.py' and it failed immediately with the 
following traceback:

FWIW, I can open an interactive Python session and execute "import 
pkg_resources"  from the command line without error.

Any ideas?

Thanks—
Greg
