No module named setuptools.

Answer 1

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
