[15:28:28] <lgp171188> I have python-virtualenv package installed on my Debian Jessie system and when I use the latest bootstrap.py and try to run it, I get "pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: setuptools>=0.7". How to fix this issue?

[16:31:32] <yota> lgp171188: hi

[16:31:44] <lgp171188> Hi

[16:32:13] <yota> the last version of Buildout require a recent version of Setuptools

[16:32:36] <yota> in your Python site-package

[16:33:08] <yota> How have you installed Setuptools / Distribute ?

[16:33:35] <yota> apt-get install python-setuptools?

[16:34:15] <yota> ah virtualenv

[16:34:24] <yota> sorry, i missed the point

[16:35:02] <yota> download the package here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/1.1.6

[16:35:23] <yota> extract files

[16:36:13] <yota> and launch /path/to/virtualenv/python install setup.py

[16:37:10] <lgp171188> Yes, I read a post by Reinout Vanrees on this topic. I downloaded the latest ez_setup.py and installed it into system python (yeah I know it is bad to fiddle with system python which is managed by the package manager). After that I was able to run buildout and use it fine without any issues.

[16:37:32] <yota> or use a recent version of pip

[16:37:50] <lgp171188> yota, thanks for your pointers. They are really helpful. I will make a note of them and keep them ready for reference. :)

[16:39:03] <yota> your version of pip use a old version of setuptools. So you must upgrade it. Directly in the virtualenv or by upgrading pip
