This affects me as well; there are a number of build tools and test environments I maintain and/or use which assume the availability of easy_install if python-setuptools is installed.
Outside of this issue, the only helpful documentation I could find was on Stack Exchange: https://askubuntu.com/a/1052682/88829 The Bionic package even states (ref: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/python-setuptools): > The setuptools project also includes the widely used easy_install application for downloading and installing Python packages. ...which would seem to indicate easy_install should be available after installing the package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774419 Title: easy_install command is missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-setuptools/+bug/1774419/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
