You will see this error when you try to install a PIP package. This error message means Python setuptools is missing or broken.
$sudo pip2.7
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip2.7", line 6, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
#Fix1:
Just re-install the Python setuptools to fix the issue.
sudo yum reinstall python27-setuptools
If your Python version is 3.x, then you should install corresponding version of setuptools. Eg. For Python3.4,
sudo yum reinstall python34-setuptools
Happy fixing 🙂
