python27-2.7.6_2 doesn't have pkg_resources?

Hi,

With the latest FreeBSD package (2.7.6_2), the pkg_resource module seems to
be broken:

# pkg info | grep python27
python27-2.7.6_2               Interpreted object-oriented programming
language
# /usr/local/bin/python2.7 -c 'import pkg_resources'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources


This was not the case on 2.7.6_1:

# pkg info | grep python27
python27-2.7.6_1               Interpreted object-oriented programming
language
# /usr/local/bin/python2.7 -c 'import pkg_resources'
#


This impact other packages such as py27-virtualenv.  If i try to create a
virtualenv, it immediately aborts with the error that pkg_resources doesn't
exist.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Scott
