Error updating from 11.2 to 11.3 | py37-setuptools-41.4.0_1 conflicts with py27-setuptools-39.0.1

Edit: Correction this was a upgrade of all ports with portmaster

THere are a couple of bug reports on this. But I can't figure out how to fix this. How can I work around this ?

btw I never installed or modified any python packages manually.
 
i uninstalled the package, which removed the whole python 27 package. It got rid of the error, but might have broken things. Don't know yet.. still compiling everything.
 
As talsamon said, it's probably a problem with your too old version of py27-setuptools.
I've just upgraded a 12.0 installation:
Code:
pkg info | grep setuptool
py27-setuptools-41.4.0_1       Python packages installer
py36-setuptools-41.4.0_1       Python packages installer
py37-setuptools-41.4.0_1       Python packages installer

As you can see, I have three differents Python versions (and no problem with that).
 
Correction: This happened when updating all ports with portmaster.

Things seem to be in order now. Is the lesson here to update ports frequently ?
 
I don't use ports. But I came to use pkg upgrade with the latest repository frequenly to avoid such a trouble.
