Tried to install with pip:

user@Ubuntu ~/ $ sudo pip --no-cache-dir install --user -U setuptools
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /home/coder/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (40.6.3)

But when I wanted to import it, then it's not importing anymore.

user@Ubuntu ~/ $ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:36:49)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import setuptools
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named setuptools

I got the solution for this from this link here Correct command for pip upgrade my solution is below:

User@Ubuntu ~/Documents/RE $ sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /home/coder/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (18.1)

So correct command was this:

user@ubuntu ~/Documents/RE $ sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
