You seem to be working in a virtualenv located in /home/oomsys/demobrun. The error message is stating that setuptools is of version 0.6c11, where 0.7 or higher is required. You can use pip to upgrade the package to the current release:

pip install --upgrade setuptools

  • What about my use case where I'm not working in a virtualenv? I'm having the same issue. the only way for me to work around this error was to force zc.buildout to use an older version.

  • @Andre No. Just do sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools to install the site-packages Python package (note the sudo!). The Ubuntu installed setuptools package is in dist-packages still and you can manage site-packages using pip and dist-packages using apt-get.
