   You can run into this when attempting to upgrade an existing 
setuptools installation packaged as a zipped egg (due to some old 
zipimporter caches not getting cleaned up correctly).

   It has already been reported and a patch has been prepared. See the 
following:

   https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/168
   https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/pull-request/48

   But the patch is still waiting on the maintainer to apply it.

   Hope this helps.

   Best regards,
