I ran into a problem while installing neutron. This error is rather common (as seen through googling) but the solution was hard to find. This is what I found that worked for me. YMMV.
The full error is as follows:
[code lang=text]

This was fixed by ensuring that my version of setuptools (not the system package of the same name) was version 18.0.1 or newer.
I got this information from the ryu mailing list.
