ImportError: No module name setuptools

[Curtice Gough]

$ python ./setup.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

How do I fix this? I'm running Ubuntu 16.04

From the accepted answer in first result in Google for ImportError: No module named setuptools:

To install this on Debian:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

For Python 3.x

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools

I'm not sure what version of Python is the default on Ubuntu 16.04, do these work for you?
