Python Installation problem with 0.7.10

No clue. duplicity has been installed many thousands of times and no one
has reported problems.

Is Python 2 the default? If not, use:
$ sudo python2 setup.py install
to do the install.

Thanks Kenneth...yea, I know it's been installed by many, which I thought was bizarre that I would get that error message at the start. Relatively new release 10 days ago..not sure if that may be the contributor. Tried using sudo, but received the same error message. Still searching for the cause...appreciate the feedback!

Looking at the setup.py file, here's the first set of commands that it fails on:
import sys
import os
from setuptools import setup, Extension (it fails on this line)
from setuptools.command.test import test
from setuptools.command.install import install
from setuptools.command.sdist import sdist

I'm wondering if there's an extension to the setuptools (setuptools.XXXX) that may be missing?

Hopefully this might help diagnose what's going on...thanks!

I looked to see if the setuptools module was an installed module within Python, and it wasn't listed as installed. All of the Python packages have been installed and are the latest versions:
apt-get install ncftp python-paramiko python-pycryptopp lftp python-boto python-dev librsync-dev

Researching how to install the setuptools module...realize that python-pip is not installed...installed pip, and then ran the duplicty install and it installed clean...learned alot in this troubleshooting exercise...cheers!
