Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
Reasons behind the errors
Error1:
Package python-setuptools is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package python-setuptools has no installation candidate
This happens when you are trying to install a package about which APT does not have any idea. When you add software sources and then do an apt-get update your system APT's database is updated with all the packages on the repositories listed in software sources list.
Then when you try to install any package, apt checks the package name in it's database, finds it and checks the name of the repo from where it got it. It then downloads the package from that repo.
Error2:
apt-get upgrade
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
This means that you are not the root user.So we use sudo to execute it as root

Please don't use easy_install, but try pip instead.
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Now you can use it in almost the same way as easy_install, but with better package management.
sudo pip install <pypi-package>

if you are using python3 virualenv for installing the desired package via easy_install, try installing python3-pip first by running
sudo apt install python3-pip
and then install the required package via
pip install <desired-package>
