Cannot install tweepy package from pip

Hi, I'm having a problem installing tweepy from conda-buildpip on osx.

$conda-pipbuild tweepy

Despite this saying that tweepy is already installed, (I had previously tried with just pip3) it won't import. It also does the same error if I uninstall tweepy and try the same command. It requests my conda info, so here is is:

$ conda info

Also having this issue under similar circumstances and haven't found a solution.

Might it be a Python 3 syntax issue? I noticed that the print command does not have parentheses.

[jakirkham]

Agreed, this looks like tweepy issue with Python 3. Try retesting to see if it works with Python 2.

pipbuild no longer exists. You need to do (at least) 2 steps now:

1. conda skeleton pypi (package name)
2. try building with conda build (package name)
3. troubleshoot as necessary, or if it worked, great, go use your package
