OK, so it's happening in the standard lib as called by pyparsing.  Very
odd.  I'll see if Paul McGuire (the pyparsing author) has any ideas.

If you could try just one more thing... ;) Could you download the
.tar.gz, unpack it, and use 'python setup.py install' to install it?
This should install it as something other than an egg, if I'm not
mistaken.
