RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

I tried to set the default recursion limit higher than 999 by adding sys.setrecursionlimit(999999) to setup.py but I still get the same error.

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
./slush0-stratum-mining-proxy-e237fe3/distribute-0.6.28-py2.7.egg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 3, in <module>

  File ./slush0-stratum-mining-proxy-e237fe3/distribute_setup.py", line 116, in _build_egg
    raise IOError('Could not build the egg.')
IOError: Could not build the egg.

Any suggestions?
