same here with pip, and easy_install, too:

Installing from source worked, though.

I had exactly the same problem. It's because the line in setup.py needs changing from

  requirements = [x.strip() for x in open("requirements.txt")]

to

  requirements = [x.strip() for x in open("ml_metrics.egg-info/requires.txt")]

since in the "egg" the requirements file has moved location. I don't know how the egg bundling is managed though, so not sure where the source code fix would go. However, on my machine I manually edited /tmp/pip-build-root/ml-metrics/setup.py after the fail, and then it worked on second try.
