Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named setuptools

Answer 1

Install setuptools and try again.

try command:

sudo apt-get install -y python-setuptools

Answer 2

For ubuntu users, this error may arise because setuptool is not installed system-wide. Simply install setuptool using the command:

sudo apt-get install -y python-setuptools

After that, install your package again normally, using

sudo python setup.py install

That's all.

Answer 3

For Python Run This Command

apt-get install -y python-setuptools

For Python 3.

apt-get install -y python3-setuptools

Answer 4

The PyPA recommended tool for installing and managing Python packages is pip. pip is included with Python 3.4 (PEP 453), but for older versions here's how to install it (on Windows, using Python 3.3):

Download https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

>c:\Python33\python.exe get-pip.py
Downloading/unpacking pip
Downloading/unpacking setuptools
Installing collected packages: pip, setuptools
Successfully installed pip setuptools
Cleaning up...

Sample usage:

>c:\Python33\Scripts\pip.exe install pymysql
Downloading/unpacking pymysql
Installing collected packages: pymysql
Successfully installed pymysql
Cleaning up...

In your case it would be this (it appears that pip caches independent of Python version):

C:\Python27>python.exe \code\Python\get-pip.py
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\python27\lib\site-packages
