You didn't *call* use_setuptools, or import setuptools itself, so this 
doesn't actually mean that setuptools is okay.  The error message below is 
displayed when use_setuptools() is *called*, not when it's imported.

My guess is that setuptools isn't actually on the path, either because it 
didn't install correctly, or because the configuration for building 
SQLAlchemy doesn't specify that its build requires setuptools.
