I installed the latest Debian testing and it didn't have any python 2 stuff by default even when installing other build packages. Debian is trying to deprecate python 2 and remove it completely.

I opened an issue on GitHub and the SM team is looking into either making it a dependency that gets picked up by the script to make sure you have the python 2 version of setuptools, or altering the script to also work with python 3.

For the moment I've got my environment though I don't have time to mess with it as I'm busy with a work project. But I hope to spend some time with this soon.
