Dear Ole,
Since you've also reported this at
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-framework/issues/2712, let's
follow up there to avoid fragmenting the discussion.
regards,
Kenneth

I'm setting up EasyBuild on a new Intel Xeon Skylake node which is
running CentOS 7.6. This OS comes with python-setuptools 0.9.8:
$ rpm -q python-setuptools
python-setuptools-0.9.8-7.el7.noarch
Unfortunately the EB bootstrap script for some reason is not working,
even though the minimum version should be 0.6, see
https://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html#required-python-packages
I get the error shown below:
$ python bootstrap_eb.py $EASYBUILD_PREFIX

I wonder hos the 17.1 requirement comes up? Perhaps this requirement
makes sense with Python 3.x?
Can anyone suggest a fix so that I can get started?
Thanks,
Ole
