On first sight this sounds ok (after alpha release trying grok gets 
easier as the grokproject has an option to install a non-default grok 
version).

I noticed the version conflict for setuptools too. I had to install, 
myself, the latest setuptools in my python environment that I use for 
developing grok (a being virtualenv 2.6 with --no-site-packages).

Is there anything specific going wrong in your case?
