"Python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-PBYBBm/wireless/

[champsupertramp]

Hi,

I'm running Mac OSX 10.11.6

• Python 2.7.10
• pip 9.0.1 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

I tried running this command: sudo pip install wireless

But it triggers error:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-PBYBBm/wireless/

after a year, i guess you figured it out, but your setuptools version is too old. you need to upgrade, but can't upgrade the system version becuase of SIP. i did it with pip install --upgrade setuptools --user python
