搭建robotframework自动化框架环境时，使用ez_setup.py安装setuptools报错如下

Something went wrong during the installation.
See the error message above.

解决方法如下：

通过分析最后的错误提示，是由于setuptools包中的setup.py编码格式错误，导致无法安装，以上虽然报错，但是setuptools-1.4.2.tar.gz已经下载完成。那么就可以通过手工安装setuptools包：

1、解压setuptools-1.4.2.tar.gz至C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\setuptools-1.4.2n27\Lib\site-packages\setuptools-1.4.2

2、修改setup.py，在代码中添加如下几句即可： 

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding(‘utf8‘)也可能是’gbk’

3、在cmd窗口中进入Python27\Lib\site-packages\setuptools-1.4.2目录，然后输入：python setup.py install，即可安装成功
