Description
I get the following stack trace trying to pip install or upgrate drfdocs, using Python 2.7, on both a mac running OS X 10.11.5 and a Ubuntu 14.04 machine.
```
[ubuntu@SEA] pip install --upgrade drfdocs
Downloading/unpacking drfdocs from https://pypi.python.org/packages/e5/9e/3a9aa6908ad7bd95b46f7fe05256681f4101de9a7769b6928159a986ef61/drfdocs-0.0.11.tar.gz#md5=ae42aba1e598ac110de74bdad0f3d3f4

Cleaning up...
```
Both installs were done within virtualenvs with django1.9 installed. `pip` versions were 1.5.4 & 1.5.6
I didn't find this behavior with any other pip modules. Don't know if it's something DrfDocs is doing in its setup or some other setup-related issue.
Cheers!

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the Python 2.7 virtualenv setup described, using pip install --upgrade drfdocs. Start with setup.py and the python setup.py egg_info entry point shown in the traceback; done means the package installs or upgrades without the missing setuptools.command error.
