Can't install via pip because of egg_info error
No matter which package I'm trying to install, I get this error:
error: invalid command 'egg_info'
----------------------------------------
Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in c:\users\zorpix\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-Zorpix\virtualenv
Storing complete log in C:\Users\Zorpix\pip\pip.log
I saw this question, but the answer doesn't work for me. I can install the distribute package, which so far is the only package I can install, but it doesn't fix the problem, as the egg_info error returns as soon as I try to install another package. I'm getting pretty frustrated with this, as I can't find anything helpful anywhere. I've also had django and pip and everything installed before, but I had to reinstall it all, and now it's not working... Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the log it says it stored:

What is this setuptools that I'm missing?
Solution 1:
Found out what was wrong. I never installed the setuptools for python, so it was missing some vital files, like the egg ones.
If you find yourself having my issue above, download this file and then in powershell or command prompt, navigate to ez_setup’s directory and execute the command and this will run the file for you:
$ [sudo] python ez_setup.py
If you still need to install pip at this point, run:
$ [sudo] easy_install pip
easy_install was part of the setuptools, and therefore wouldn't work for installing pip.
Then, pip will successfully install django with the command:
$ [sudo] pip install django
Hope I saved someone the headache I gave myself!

Solution 2:
Try these:
pip install --upgrade setuptools or easy_install -U setuptools
