New errors after running the command given in the answer.
I tried with sudo too.
A part of the error code
Removing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools-1.4.1-py2.7.egg
Copying setuptools-1.4.1-py2.7.egg to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
setuptools 1.4.1 is already the active version in easy-install.pth
