| 14 | ==== Q: Why do I get `NameError: global name 'log' is not defined` when trying to use `setup.py`? |

| 24 | You're most likely working from a Subversion **1.7** checkout and you're using a too old `setuptools` package (e.g. `/setuptools-0.7a1dev_r66608`). |
| 25 | |
| 26 | See #7598. Upgrade to a newer setuptools, downgrade to svn 1.6.x, or use distribute. |
