Pip install on Yocto failing

Question

Testing an Intel Edison board that runs Yocto with Python2.7 preinstalled. Having issues installing libraries. wget version Busybox do not allow https downloads. apt-get is not available in Yocto. Curl worked for some libraries but not for all. Finally installed setuptools and pip with get-pip.py using curl but encounter this issue when doing a pip install on any library "setuptools must be installed to install from a source distribution".

I had the same problem. When I solved it, I wrote this post: http://mendrugory.weebly.com/blog/intel-edison-and-python
