I notice you didn't include 'sudo' on your run of ez_setup.py. Since it has to be able to write to /usr/local/bin and also to Python's site-packages, you need to run it as root, or else follow the non-root installation procedure that sets up a "virtual" python in your home directory that you can install packages to without being root.
