[Configobj-develop] Can't easy_install ConfigObj for Python 2.5

[Robin M. <rob...@gm...>]

"easy_install ConfigObj" doesn't work if you're using Python 2.5.
There's no .egg for 2.5 linked from the
http://www.python.org/pypi/ConfigObj/ page, so setuptools downloads
the source and tries to run "setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir
/tmp/easy_install-kjBHsO/egg-dist-tmp-wnCMdZ" instead. But that fails
with TypeError: "compile() expected string without null bytes". When I
run the same setup.py command by hand from inside the configobj-4.3.2
directory, I get:

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'bdist_egg'

What would it take to get ConfigObj using a setup.py that's setuptools-aware?
