I encountered the same error with Plone 3.2.2 on Debian Lenny in trying to
use Markdown. - Strange, that it does not work with the provided ElementTree
version. In case someone else will encounter the same problem, I will
describe briefly what I did to get it working:

[buildout]
...
eggs =
        Markdown

will download the current Markdown version ( 2.0.1), which apparently does
not find the existing ElementTree.

The first thing I tried, was to change this to:

eggs =
        Markdown==1.7

to install an earlier version, which does not depend on ElementTree. This
worked without any errors.

Next I tried to use cElementTree with the current Markdown and this worked
likewise.

eggs =
        cElementTree
        Markdown
