Description
The _cloudformation-cli_ does not work if the `setuptools` package is not installed.
Attempts to issue any command, for example `cfn init`, fail with an ambiguous error message:
```
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'
```
Installing `setuptools` fixes the issue.
It would be great if this dependency was explicitly stated in the docs, or if `setuptools` would get installed automatically by pip when _cloudformation-cli_ is installed.
