Is your setuptools installed for the same Python version? (E.g. for 3.4 or 3.5 or 2.7.)

If I run python --version I get the following error:
python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.4m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It seems that ldconfig is wired for python3.5 but some programs are looking for 3.4 instead.

Duh, I found out the culprit: hardwired python compiled from last September, probably when I needed this version but it wasn't yet available or something weird like this. Removed the extra python, all is well.

Had to resintall both python-setuptools and python-packaging after I removed my extra python binaries. NOW FIXED.
