Had the same problem. It took some googling to figure out how to update setuptools. This got me past the error: sudo pip install -U setuptools

Now to just resolve the new error =)

I had the same issue as svanommen on RHEL6.5. I resolved it by downloading and installing a newer version of setuptools (18.4 rather than 17.1.1).

Hello,
I got the same error, you should upgrade your setuptools:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -o - | python
