Hey guys,

I'm running into a very annoying issue trying to upgrade flexget from 1.2.456 to the latest release 2.3.42. When I try

sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools

I get:

Downloading/unpacking setuptools from https://pypi.python.org/packages/21/5c/46a549d8b15f751e9428d5e821e9bc3f69dd8b579c3a9f13ab9bd3e75589/setuptools-28.3.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=477d21e653752131bf9f287a34c7156c

When I then try to upgrade flexget, by

sudo pip install --upgrade flexget

I get:

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-GxYWn3/html5lib

Any ideas how to force the upgrade of setuptools so I can upgrade to the latest release?

Thanks in advance!
