ImportError: No module named setuptools

25th April 2010, 06:55 pm

Problem:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “setup.py”, line 1, in
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
ImportError: No module named setuptools

Solutions:

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz
tar zxvf setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz
cd setuptools-0.6c11
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Hope this helps someone out there ;)

    Very useful! Was trying to setup MySQLdb package and was getting the ImportError: No module named setuptools.
    Following your post and setting up setuptools solved the problem. Thank you!

    First of all, thanks for the great article. Just wanted to share another method which I used:

    Downloaded the ‘egg’ file (setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg) from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#files and did this instead:

    bash setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

    Cheers.
