Easy_Install in Python3 says setuptools not found even when it's up to date

I ran "sudo easy_install3 py-notify" and had my setuptools updated to the current version (15), all my stuff is updated and upgraded. I don't understand why it can't detect setuptools.

It says I need 3.3 But I have 15, so how is it not working

$ sudo easy_install3 py-notify
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/setuptools-15.0-py3.4.egg/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 639, in _build_master

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

if you have pip you can use: pip list to see all installed modules. if you can't see setuptools, install it manually.
