The script is not meant to be run on the CVS checkout dir, but after
running dist/makedist.py and de-tarring the resultant tar.gz.  The
makedist.py script supplies the correct version to a couple of files
that need to have versioning, one of which is duplicity-bin.

So, the following would be the correct way to handle this:

$ cvs co duplicity
$ cd duplicity/sources
$ dist/makedist.py foo
[makes duplicity-foo.tar.gz]
$ tar xzf duplicity-foo.tar.gz
[makes a duplicity-foo directory]
$ cd duplicity-foo
$ sudo -i
# python setup.py install

Where 'foo' is your version number.

When I make the move to sourceforge.net, I plan to convert to subversion
so that I can make use of the rename features and get the development
structure to match the release structure.  Why CVS still has no rename
is quite is quite beyond me.  Its a royal PITA!
