Solution

  • It appears the MySQLdb egg requires a newer version of distribute:

    The required version of distribute (>=0.6.28) is not available,

    and

    (Currently using distribute 0.6.19 (/usr/local/Plone/Python-2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/distribute-0.6.19-py2.6.egg))

    Upgrade your distribute egg first; if you are using the unified installer, for example, versions.cfg pins the version. If so, edit versions.cfg to correct the version number there:

    [versions]
...
# Buildout infrastructure
...
distribute = 0.6.28
