get-pip.py fail to install setuptools

See original GitHub issue

AFAIK, current get-pip.py installs setuptools when not installed that. But current version setuptools doesn’t have wheel format distribution. That caused error below::

$ python get-pip.py 
Downloading/unpacking pip
  Using download cache from /home/aodag/.pip/eggs/https%3A%2F%2Fpypi.python.org%2Fpackages%2Fpy2.py3%2Fp%2Fpip%2Fpip-1.5.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Cleaning up...
setuptools must be installed to install from a source distribution
Storing debug log for failure in /home/aodag/.pip/pip.log

Is that pip’s bug? Or problem of setuptools releases?

setuptools had been releasing wheels consistently up until a few days ago. I’ll open an issue over there.

OK, I confirmed that get-pip.py installs setuptools formated wheel.
