I have recently installed python so setuptools must be installed and updated, but if it is issue with setuptools how do I check and update, if not what should I do to fix it?

Just to make it easy to understand I'm also posting a screenshot

Can you add the full steps you used for installation? Did you use the easy install ansible script? — Rushabh Mehta, Feb 09 '17 at 09:29
i followed steps from here https://github.com/frappe/bench and stuck on Basic Usage Create a new bench — Wasif Khalil, Feb 09 '17 at 09:31
looking at this line " failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-zS3Gci/mysql-python/\" i guess it is something related to mysql-python — Wasif Khalil, Feb 09 '17 at 09:32
i tried both manual and easy_install and i have same error with easy_install too " failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-zS3Gci/mysql-python/\n" — Wasif Khalil, Feb 09 '17 at 09:43
