Python pip 1.5 issues with setuptools

Question

My system uses x64 bit processor and Windows 8.1.

I installed:

1. Python 2.7.6 (32 bit)
2. then easy_install (2.7)
3. then python27>easy_install pip
4. test pip: python27>pip install bottle. I get message: "Wheel installs require setuptools >= 0.8 for dist-info support."

Please advise solutions.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Install setuptools from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools. That should do the trick.
