Not sure, but I venture a guess anyways.
Did you actually install a python 2.4 or 2.5 version in addition to the
default 2.6?
Just installing the 2.5 version of setuptools won't help unless you also have
a 2.5 python installed (yes, you can install several versions of python).
Personally I'd install python 2.5 along with virtualenv. I think Ubuntu has
backwards compatible python2.5 packages (try something like apt-get install
python2.5 and apt-get install python2.5-dev) which don't mess up your general
python setup (python then is not python, but python2.5 - the tab-key is your
friend there)
Then create a virtual environment (I create different system users for that
and install the virtual env in their home directory, aka
virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.5 --no-site-packages /home/my_2.5_user).
Then a simple su - my_python_2.5_user will get you an isolated py2.5 setup
(if you add "source bin/activate" to the user's .bashrc).
>From there - logged on as the py2.5 user - you can run easy_install and
everything else without polluting your system environment. If you don't like
the outcome anymore, just remove the user with the home directory and nothing
will have happened to your system.
You definitely don't want to mess with the 2.6 installation, because Ubuntu
heavily relies on the default python for all the config and setup tools.
