pip: egg_info failed with error code 1

I've got a Raspberry Pi with Python 3.4.2 on Linux. When I try to install Thingspeak executing this command:

pip install thingspeak

I get this error: 

 setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-sk0Blx/thingspeak

What does this error mean, and how can I resolve it?

pip install --upgrade setuptools pip resolved the problem for me.

I had already done pip install --upgrade pip so it was really setuptools that needed the upgrade
