As I run "sudo python setup.py develop" I get error message

I found solution:
sudo easy_install -U distribute-0.6.28.tar.gz
sudo python setup.py install

I have looked at many possible solutions to this question and tried the one above, but now of them have worked.
I have used sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
I have updated pip and python
I have updated easy_install
I have tried all the solutions I could find to the Could not build the egg error.
please help.
