I went to the wiki of Imprudence Viewer & then I went to the Compiling-part. Then I downloaded latest code from git. I installed everything needed. Then I went into Desktop/imprudence/linden/indra & wrote python develop.py & that resulted in this: http://pastebin.mandriva.com/23157
I then tried to import using the interpreter, but still I got the same issue.
I then uninstalled python-celementtree & ran python develop.py & then everything went on OK.

This is valid in Mageia, a fork of Mandriva.
Using 2.6.38.8-desktop-4.mga as kernel.
Arch is x86_64

setuptools bug are reported to these trackers: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/ and https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issues
If a setuptools bugs comes from the underlying standard module, distutils, then this bug tracker is the right place, otherwise we can’t do anything.

Well, I didn't know what do choose when I reported.
What more info do you need to help me put it in the right place?

If there is a bug with distutils, xml.etree or CPython, then we need instructions on how to reproduce it.
If the bug can only happen with third-party ElementTree release, setuptools or Imprudence, then I’ll suggest you to go to the setuptools bug trackers (there is a fork, so there are two trackers) with your report.

The pastebin link gives me a blank box. In any case, a one-month retention does not work for the tracker. If you do get an error traceback indicating an error in CPython or its library, post it here. However, your post so far strongly suggests that the error is elsewhere, so we will close this in a week or so if nothing concrete is added.

Here's the link to the Imprudence bugzilla: http://redmine.kokuaviewer.org/issues/1025 

Thanks. The Imprudence bug seems to confirm this is not a distutils bug.

Closing, please reopen if there is more info.

Uhhhm. You could bypass the python-celementtree issue when compiling by editing fastest_celementree.py & uncommenting some lines so you compile using other instructions.
