I've been able to normally download python libraries for a while but this happened and I've gone through every solution but I think this is specific to my situation
I was trying to download beautiful soup, got an error that said something like it couldn't correctly load "egginfo.py" or something like that, which I found might be fixed by upgrading setuptools. I did so and got this:
D:\Python3_64\Scripts>pip install beautifulsoup
Traceback (most recent call last):

Using easyinstall:

I can no longer download Python libraries of any sort because of this.
I've tried:
-Deleting older versions of python
-upgrading setuptools
-using pip3
-installing with the --user flag
-running an elevated prompt and trying to install
-using easyinstall
-uninstalling and reinstalling python
All help appreciated.
