Python 3: ImportError: No module named 'setuptools'

Python 3: ImportError: No module named 'setuptools'

I am working with python 3.3 on a Mac OS X laptop. I have been trying to
install the pysparse package, but to no avail.
When running 'python setup.py install', I always get the 'print
'setuptools module not found.'' error. I searched for fixes to this
problem and found the threads about the distribute package, which I
installed. But this does not change anything and I still get the same
error when trying to install the pysparse package.
Has anybody had the same problem or knows how to fix it? Thanks!
