Trying to install rosjava but that ends up failing because i'm missing rosinstall in python 2.7 -> dist-packages. Also missing vcstool. Was wondering if there was a way to get these back or fix up python.

Well, you'd want to install the rosinstall and vcstools Python packages. I'd tell you exactly how to do that, but you've left out your OS name and version from your question. :p

In spite of the lack of information in the question (try and be more specific next time), here are a few common ways:

On Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall python-vcstools
On OS X: sudo pip install rosinstall vcstools

Sorry about that. I'm using ubuntu and I tried that command and nothing shows in the python packages.

You can try listing the files installed by those debian packages with something like dpkg -L python-rosinstall. Then you can double check that those files are there. If not you can uninstall and reinstall it.
