$ python bootstrap.py

I am getting this error. What’s odd is there is no problem getting to the file:

Also odd: there is an egg for different version of setuptools in ./eggs: setuptools-0.6c12dev_r88846-py2.6.egg

The log looks like this:

Any ideas? It’s a Django app (not authored by me), which I’m trying to deploy through Vagrant and Chef. This step actually worked just a few hours ago (before I rebuilt the whole VM) so I’m a bit mystified what’s changed. The buildout.cfg is here.

EDIT
A bit more info: it looks like the ‘download error’ is misleading, because the file actually does get downloaded to a temp directory (/tmp/tmpxxxx/). Running the buildout from the command line then immediately breaking shows this:

    More than one page is checked for possible downloadable targets. If one of those is down or generates an error you get to see this warning. But it’s only a warning, you’ll get a proper error if things really go south.

    The warning is issued to let you know setuptools may have selected a different version of a package than it would otherwise have; it collects a list of versions for the package from pypi and pages linked from there, and one of those pages timing out could mean a “better” version was not selected this time.

    In other words: don’t worry, status-by-design.
