htseq installation distutils problem

[regl]

I think, "no" to all those questions. But again, I am for sure not an expert in Linux.

Do you have other installations of python? Do you use anaconda/jupyter or canopy?

addendum

python 2.7 is installed and runs without problems.

Just HTSeq wont do as ordered.

Hi all,

after entering "sudo python setup.py install" I got this:

symlinking folders for python2
Could not import 'setuptools', falling back to 'distutils'.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 193, in <module>
**kwargs
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 111, in setup
_setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 259, in __init__
getattr(self.metadata, "set_" + key)(val)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 1220, in set_requires
distutils.versionpredicate.VersionPredicate(v)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/versionpredicate.py", line 113, in __init__
raise ValueError("expected parenthesized list: %r" % paren)
ValueError: expected parenthesized list: '>=0.9.0'

I am not really familiar with Unix (I am a user, not a system programmer), so hopefully the solution to this might be easy.

???
