Do you have more than one copy of Python installed? If so, make sure  
that you've installed setuptools for the Python interpreter you're  
currently using.

e.g. Leopard ships with Python 2.5.1 a copy of easy_install at /usr/ 
bin, but if you use a different Python installation then then you'll  
need to install setuptools for that yourself as the existing  
easy_install only works for Apple's Python.
