I'm using a clean instance of Ubuntu server and would like to install some python packages in my virtualenv.
I receive the following output from the command 'pip install -r requirements.txt'
Downloading/unpacking pymongo==2.5.2 (from -r requirements.txt (line 7))
Downloading pymongo-2.5.2.tar.gz (303kB): 303kB downloaded

Any Idea what's going on?
python version 2.7.3
pip version pip 1.4 from /home/redacted/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
Follow the below steps to install the Setuptools package on Linux using the setup.py file: Step 1: Download the latest source package of Setuptools for Python3 from the website. Step 3: Go to the setuptools-60.5. 0 folder and enter the following command to install the package.
Try installing:
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
if this doesn't work try:
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
Edit: If you have several (possible conflicting) python installations or environments, the following commands can be useful to debug which executables are being used:
which python
which pip
which easy_install
They should "match". It can happen for example that you have pip installing packages for an EPD or global distribution while the current python that is being used corresponds to a local environment (or something different), in which case it might not be able to see the installed packages.
had the same problem, solved it with
pip install -U setuptools
Elaborating @elyase's Answer. First check for which python version you want to install setuptools. Normally both python versions comes default with debian or any linux distro. So, as per your requirement install setup tools using apt package manager
For python 2.x
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
For python 3.x
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
