I haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion yet myself so I can't test, but if
it's helpful, I can at least confirm that I did a new install on Lion
about two weeks ago and it worked, so it's probably something specific
to Mountain Lion or your machine's setup, not a problem with macos more
generally.
The weird thing is that it looks like it's actually barfing on parsing
the version number itself, which makes me wonder if maybe mountain
lion's reporting the version in a slightly different syntax than
expected or something doesn't think it's available for that version
number.
It might be worth installing a fresh version of python in case there's
just something up with the version macos provides, and I *did* have some
problem with the wrong version of setuptools that required me to clear
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ before bootstrap.py would behave
properly (See http://terriko.dreamwidth.org/104072.html for my note to
self on what went wrong with bootstrap.py in my case). The latter seems
unlikely on a fresh install, but trying it doesn't hurt anything since
bootstrap will just redownload those packages.

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—
