 The current setuptools version in Sage is 0.6c9. However, in the 0.6c11
 update, there's an important change:
 {{{
  * Fixes for various dependency management problems such as looping
 builds,
    re-downloading packages already present on sys.path (but not in a
 registered
    "site" directory), and semi-randomly preferring local "-f" packages
 over
    local installed packages
 }}}

 The problem in the PyCUDA package with a corrupted setuptools (
 http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10010 ) after installing
 distribute is caused due to this outdated setuptools version.

 The package is really simple (like the current 0.6c9 package), because it
 has no patches compared to the vanilla setuptools from
 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools . Therefore, I just copied in the
 new source and that was it.
