Quick fix

PYSEC-2013-22 — setuptools: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'setuptools>=0.7'

Details

easy_install in setuptools before 0.7 uses HTTP to retrieve packages from the PyPI repository, and does not perform integrity checks on package contents, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted response to the default use of the product.
