无法在Mac上点子安装python模块

Question

My friend is trying to install pygame on its mac, when it he tries to install any python module he gets an error saying:

ImportError: No module named pkg_resources,

There is no pkg_resources folder in his local/bin, we have tried multiple times to uninstall and reinstall python but nothing seems to be working, Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Can you please provide more details(like what was the method employed to install the module along with python version etc, whatever would be relevant for debugging), so that it would be easy for debugging?

Try these 2 steps,

1. pip install setuptools

2. if you have no setuptools installed then - follow this link to install the same.
