I have the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 with Python 3.4.0.

I had a similar problem but using windows7. I believe I had the exact same

In short I had to upgrade setuptools and then the install of stagger was fixed!

I made a fixed version and it's hosted on Bitbucket:

pip install 
"git+https://miohtama@bitbucket.org/miohtama/stagger.git#egg=stagger"
