dev-python/pycuda, python and setuptools

[erg_samowzbudnik]

I have a problem with pycuda, it forever fails to emerge complaining about setuptools:

>>> Configuring source in /tmp/portage/dev-python/pycuda-2012.1/work/pycuda-2012.1 ...
* python2_7: running distutils-r1_run_phase python_configure
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setuptools conflict detected.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I imported setuptools, I did not get the distribute version of
setuptools, which is troubling--this package really wants to be used
with distribute rather than the old setuptools package. More than likely,
you have both distribute and setuptools installed, which is bad.

See this page for more information:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will continue after a short while, fingers crossed.
Hit Ctrl-C now if you'd like to think about the situation.

after that it tries a bit more pausing a few times and then fails at the compile

I've unmerged setuptools as advised on the DistributeVsSetuptools site but that did not help, couldn't find package called distribute neither...

How can I clean up that mess? I'll post the entire emerge log if that helps.
