same problem

Here are my proposed changes. Sorry for the issues with formatting, now fixed....

Same issue arises in python3.3.0

It calls .new.brew which calls the formula initialize. Instead replace all the references to external formulas to within the main class and define them as resource "formula"

replace the offending formula.new.brew{.....} line with
resource("formula").stage{ ....}

    class Distribute < Formula
      url 'http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.34.tar.gz'
      sha1 'b6f9cfbaf3e63833b71009812a613be13e68f5de'
    end

    class Pip < Formula
      url 'http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-1.2.1.tar.gz'
      sha1 '35db84983ef3f66a8a161d320e61d192afc233d9'
    end

    class Python < Formula
      homepage 'http://www.python.org'
      url 'http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2'
      sha1 '842c4e2aff3f016feea3c6e992c7fa96e49c9aa0'
      version '2.7.3-boxen2'

to

    class Python < Formula
      homepage 'http://www.python.org'
      url 'http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2'
      sha1 '842c4e2aff3f016feea3c6e992c7fa96e49c9aa0'
      version '2.7.3-boxen2'

    resource("Distribute") do
      url 'http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.34.tar.gz'
      sha1 'b6f9cfbaf3e63833b71009812a613be13e68f5de'

    Resource("Pip") do
      url 'http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-1.2.1.tar.gz'
      sha1 '35db84983ef3f66a8a161d320e61d192afc233d9'
    end

and

    Distribute.new.brew { system "#{bin}/python", *setup_args }
    Pip.new.brew { system "#{bin}/python", *setup_args }

to

    resource("Distribute").stage { system "#{bin}/python", *setup_args }
    resource("Pip"),stage{ system "#{bin}/python", *setup_args }

and it should work
