I'm currently using Ubuntu 12.04 with pip version 1.0 and python version 2.7.

pip --version

pip 1.0 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)

Unfortunately, since trying to upgrade one of the pip packages, I'm unable to install anything using pip. I'm getting the following error messages:

vince@hal:~$ sudo pip install glances

Exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/basecommand.py", line 126, in main

    self.run(options, args)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/commands/install.py", line 215, in run

    import setuptools

Anyone got any ideas?
