Could you add the file you are trying to install to your question, please? — OneCricketeer, Apr 30 '16 at 18:02
Im trying to setup this https://github.com/roots/roots-example-project.com Install external Ansible roles/packages # @ roots-example-project.com/trellis $ ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml — Frederico Cerdeira, Apr 30 '16 at 18:08
Looks like it provides Vagrant. I would just use that to setup the instance — OneCricketeer, Apr 30 '16 at 18:10
Yes, but before the Vagrant init, I need to install the Ansible roles/packages, and there's when i get the error — Frederico Cerdeira, Apr 30 '16 at 18:14
Ohh, right. Its hard to read your error, but it appears to be saying something about one of your python packages is outdated. — OneCricketeer, Apr 30 '16 at 18:15

I also tried to upgrade the python setuptools via pip (sudo -H pip install setuptools --upgrade) but I got an exception error — Frederico Cerdeira, Apr 30 '16 at 18:27

Run the following to upgrade setuptools under the python user:

pip install --upgrade setuptools --user python

For some reason, the way things are installed inside OS X (and in my case, under CentOS 7 inside a Docker container), the setuptools package doesn't get installed correctly under the right user.

On my Mac, running that reinstalled setuptools-1.1.6. Collecting setuptools Downloading setuptools-22.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (509kB) 100% |████████████████████████████████| 512kB 1.6MB/s Requirement already up-to-date: python in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload Installing collected packages: setuptools Successfully installed setuptools-1.1.6 – rhuffstedtler Jun 01 '16 at 15:11
Even though I got the same message than @rhuffstedtler I didn't receive the warning anymore and I could proceed with the Ansible playbook I was running. – xarlymg89 Jul 01 '16 at 12:11
I added setuptools=11.3 to my requirements.txt and it worked. – clever_bassi Aug 22 '16 at 15:42
