django install on PS

I'm new to python, and am getting an error which I'm not able to fit into the unofficial instructions listed on the wiki.

[clarke]$ /home/wonderfullyrich/local/bin/easy_install django_src
Processing django_src
Running setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /home/.roflmao/wonderfullyrich/django/django_src/egg-dist-tmp-yzd6hC
zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...
error: Setup script exited with error: mkpath: 'name' must be a string (got u'/home/.roflmao/wonderfullyrich/django/django_src/egg-dist-tmp-yzd6hC')

I've installed the virtualenv based on the info from here and am working on the instructions from the dreamhost wiki and this blog post

Can anyone give me a hint as to what might be going on and how to fix it?

Thanks,
Rich
