title: Cannot find file setuptools-27.2.0-py3.5.egg
body: <p>This question is for Python 3.5.2, using Anaconda 4.3.0 on Windows 10 (64-bit)</p>
  
  <p>When I try to install packages with pip I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\HMGSYS\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-xit1wtvr\shapely\
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Based on other SO answers, I tried to  upgrade setuptools:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install --upgrade setuptools
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'C:\\Users\\HMGSYS\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-27.2.0-py3.5.egg'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, if I try to install setuptools:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python -m pip install -U pip setuptools
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It tells me that all packages are up to date, including setuptools:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in c:\users\hmgsys\anaconda3\lib\site-packages
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also, when I look in lib\site-packages, I see a folder for setuptools and another for setuptools-34.3.2.dist-info.</p>
  
  <p>What should I try next? Why is setuptools looking for version 27.2.0 and ignoring the more recent versions?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded the specific version of setuptools that the system was looking for and the error from 'pip install --upgrade setuptools' disappeared. However, I'm still getting the first 'egg_info' error. I've also installed ez_setup, which had no effect.</p>
