Answer 1

It appears you have installed Xcode 4 which removed the gcc-4.0 used to build the Python 2.7 you have installed. From the path names in the traceback, chances are that was a 32-bit-only Python downloaded from python.org. With Xcode 4, you should try installing the latest 64-bit/32-bit OS X installer for Python 2.7 from python.org instead. You will then likely need to re-install any packages you had installed, like Distribute, pip, and dependencies. Depending on which version of Xcode 4, you may also need to supply the following environment variable setting before running pip or easy_install:

export CC=gcc
