After removing a broken install of genshi from /Library/Python?/2.5/site-packages and the reference to it in /Library/Python?/2.5/site-packages/easy-install.pth, I was able to get going using the following workaround:

svn co http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/genshi/branches/stable/0.5.x/ genshi
cd genshi
sudo python setup.py install

Not sure if this was fixed in the latest stable build of 0.5.x...

This seems to be affecting a lot of people. Any resolution pending?

The fix for this has been part of Genshi 0.5.2dev since [947] (specifically the merged [928] changeset) - that is why a checkout & install works.
