jenkinsapi python installation Centos7

I am installing jenkinsapi for python 2.7 in centos 7. After installation, I ran a test to see if my installation was okay. I am getting the following errors.

@am00011411vm jenkinsapi-master]$ sudo python setup.py test

pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (setuptools 0.9.8 (/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse('setuptools>=17.1'))

since this module is not available in rpm, i have to build it and install it myself.

Could someone please let me know how can I avoid these conflicts.
