I got the following ImportError as i tried to setup.py install a package:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 4, in <module>
from setuptools import setup, Extension
ImportError: No module named setuptools
This happens although setuptools is already installed:
amir@amir-debian:~$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
[sudo] password for amir:

python-setuptools is already the newest version.

Why can't python find the setuptools module?
