This error means at some point you overwrote your copy of easy_install
with a non-MacPorts version. Simply activate the package with the -f
(--force) flag.

port -f activate py37-setuptools

In the future, make sure avoid running pip/make
install/setup.py/easy_install/other package managers as root or using
sudo, especially if they are going to write into /opt/local.
