[Bug 1774419] Re: easy_install command is missing

[Sebastian]

I am affected by this as well. Using EasyBuild which relies on
easy_install command during its installation problem. In 17.10 the cmd
is still there. Worked around it by copying the easy_install cmd from
17.10 (its actually just a short python script) and putting it into the
path. This works for me, but it is still weird that it is missing. Also
installed setuptools just via pip. Same thing. Did they make some
changes to setuptools?
