Hi Thanks for contacting us. This is a module without setuptools, indicating that python lacks this module. You can try the following: Wget HTTP: / / http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz The tar - XVF setuptools 0.6 c11. Tar. Gz CD setuptools 0.6 c11 Python setup. Py build Python setup. Py install Then install and try the ptyhon setup.py install command Best Regards Jake [email protected] From: RamanGouda Date: 2018-07-11 06:55 To: sunfounder/SunFounder_PiCar CC: Subscribed Subject: [sunfounder/SunFounder_PiCar] ImportError: No module named setuptools (#2) while Following Manual installation from doc PiCar-s_User_Manual.pdf , i ran ptyhon setup.py install command and i got the following error Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 9, in from setuptools import setup, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Hi @RamanGouda "403 SSL is required" means that needs to be a secure connection.
Use https instead:
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz

I ran into this same issue when setting up my picar-s tonight. After reading this issue, I ran

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python

which downloaded and installed setup tools all at the same time, and got me past this issue. I found that command on the setuptools pip project site.
