USE_PYTHON distutils option causing error

[Rod Person]

Hi,

I'm trying to update a port a maintain to the latest version and having
this problem. The port is a python application and has the following in
the Makefile

USE_PYTHON= autoplist distutils

This causes the error at the bottom of my email. Some searching on the
internet suggest call setup.py with the egg option, but I'm not sure
how to do that via the Makefile or if that is the correct option.  

Any suggestion would be helpful.
