 I'm getting an error with Python 2.7.16 when trying to execute:


 {{{
 $ python setup.py install

 Make sure you're not using GitHub's tarballs (or similar ones), as those
 don't contain the necessary metadata. Use PyPI's tarballs instead.

 For example, if you're using pip, instead of
 https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use
 git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

 I tried uninstalling and re-installing py27-setuptools and no luck, same
 thing.


 {{{
 $ port installed | grep setup
   py27-setuptools @41.1.0_0
   py27-setuptools @41.4.0_0 (active)
 }}}

 If you need more info let me know.
