I had this issue where python's distribute package wasn't installed for some reason. After following the instructions on python-distribute, i got it working.
install the distribute package as follows:
$ wget http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ python distribute_setup.py
hopefully this will resolve your problem with running
$ sudo easy_install
Happy Coding!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/bin/lib/python2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.19-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2713, in <module>

raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pip==0.8.2
$ wget http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ python distribute_setup.py
You will have a working easy_install
then.
