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?
