I was installing mininet on my ubuntu 14.04.3 and during the installation, I got the error "ImportError : No module named setuptools". I tried to install it using sudo apt-get install python-setuptools and it shows that it is already the newest version. But still the installation fails.

For installing mininet I followed the steps on and tried the following commands

git clone git:// cd mininet git tag git checkout 2.2.1 util/install.sh -n

then the installation ran and stopped in between showing the error.
