Ok, fixed it. I had to run ez_install.py (which pointed setuptools to the correct python version) and afterwards, was able to install the feedparser module without problems.

Thanks for the guidance

Sorry, forgot to mention, I reinstalled setuptools and installed distutils for the first time before I tried to install the module.
I'll google how to check if setuptools is pointing to the correct python version.

It is possible that setuptools has been installed in the python 2.6 modules directory. Try reinstalling setuptools,and anything else that installed python modules.

Hi, I recently upgraded my python 2.6 to 2.7, but am having some problems installing modules. I've downloaded the feedparser module and the readme instructed me to have either distutils or setuptools installed (which I have) and then to run "python setup.py install" from the module's root directory.

Here's the error I get...

Code:

asdf@asdf-laptop ~/Desktop/feedparser-5.1 $ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 1, in <module>
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

Any idea how I can get python 2.7 to recognise setuptools or vice versa?

Thanks in advance.
