Syntax error in setup.py file

[diptichaudhari24]

When I cloned this issue on my windows machine I could not install the package due to following syntax error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 7, in
from ez_setup import use_setuptools
File "src\ez_setup.py", line 106
except pkg_resources.VersionConflict, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What's you command?
I have try pip and python setup.py, both works
as you console log mentions, maybe it is a VersionConflict

@diptichaudhari24 your error is because you are using python3.x and not python2.x
I got bitten by this because I built a python virtualenv and it used python3 by default
virtualenv --no-site-packages python_env
I corrected it with specifying python2.x explicitly
virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python python_env
