Can you try to redownload the files and try again? Also have you made sure your python environment is up to date? And lastly can you describe to me how you downloaded the file? This error is possibly due to a corrupt file that was downloaded. Haven't had this issue myself working in Python 2.7 or 3 on a Pi3 which is why I ask.

I'll show you all the steps I do:

This is what I see when I do the install.

Is there a reason you did this step instead of simply just running python setup.py install?

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/Adafruit_Python_DHT# python setup.py build

I ask because you get the same error when trying to do that and it again seems like there's a corrupted file somewhere. Maybe it's an issue with the Lite version of the OS install as you shouldn't need to download a copy of setuptools if everything is setup properly with your python installation.

Maybe try

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Before running python setup.py install.

I had the same problem today.

As a workaround, I just download setuptools-4.0.1.zip manually in the folder, and relaunch the install.
I don't know why the downloaded zip file from the installer is not good, perhaps my downloader was not configure to follow redirections

[geofbaum]

@sim51 Glad that worked for you. The thing that's odd to me though is you shouldn't need to install from that zip file if you already have setuptools in your Python environment which I personally didn't think was missing from my last Raspbian Lite install's Python env. but maybe I added it after the fact.

[DinoFontana]

Hello,
I also solved by manually downloading the file setuptools-4.0.1.zip
thanks

[sim51]

Yep it's weird ....

As the documentation mentioned it, I have installed python like this :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev

And if I do this on the pyhton console, I don't see any trace of setuptool :

My raspberry is a version 3 with the 2018-04-18-raspbian-stretch-lite image.

Hope it can helps.

[ayoubbargach]

The file is now in the repo, setuptools-4.0.1.zip

But it still does not work for me

[phgachoud]

Comment from #92 @bargacha solved my problem...

rm setuptools-4.0.1.zip
wget https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/cb/e0/b5ecf534e14304e62c781614d683d0daa571efe92678901559ea84c1559e/setuptools-4.0.1.zip
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

More info here : https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/
Choose "release history", and look for 4.0.1 (Old version released in 2015)

I can confirm the install crashes on the python setu.py install.

The Ansible playbook I wrote for the install last spring has worked good until about 6 weeks ago. Now I have the RPi's in, it is a bit annoying the time I invested in creating the playbook isn't payed back by a smooth install of all the RPi's at the same time. Oh, well, at least I learned the basics on Ansible :-)
