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

{{{
../trunk/$ python setup.py egg_info
running egg_info
...
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/setuptools/svn_util.py", line 55, in get_sections
NameError: global name 'log' is not defined
}}}

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`).

See #7598. Upgrade to a newer setuptools, downgrade to svn 1.6.x,   or use distribute.
