I'm trying to upgrade setuptools. Well actually I'm trying to upgrade ansible but it's trying to upgrade setuptools and failing. Trying to do it myself also fails. Even trying to uninstall it fails

I haven't the foggiest idea what's wrong. Looking at all the files in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/
and below every single file is owned by root:wheel
How can I fix it?
The recommended way to install setuptools on Windows is to download ez_setup.py and run it. The script will download the appropriate . egg file and install it for you. Once installation is complete, you will find an easy_install program in your Python Scripts subdirectory.
This happens due to the System Integrity Protection introduced in OS X El Capitan.
Adding --user python
to the command allowed this to work.
In other words
pip install --upgrade setuptools --user python
