Fix for Install Error (metadata-generation-failed)

[foxycoderr]

I have experienced the problem where the package just wouldn't install, either from PyPI or directly from GitHub. The only fix I found, as mentioned by @bunchesofdonald, to install futures, that are used in the package, prior to the installation of the dictionary, on a lower version (pip install 'futures<3.0.0'). Putting this here to make it easier to access. All credit for the idea goes to @bunchesofdonald.

pip install 'futures<3.0.0'

Thanks for sharing this. I previously gave up and used py-Dictionary instead but I did not like its performance. The error has stopped after following your guide. Thanks

I tried the command and I still got the same error message again. I decided to upgrade pip and I used pip to install the module along other modules and it worked perfectly fine.

pip install 'futures<3.0.0' worked for me but then I found out that in futures documentation it is mentioned that Python 3 users should not attempt to install it since it is present in Standard Libraries. I think this can be resolved if skip future installation for python 3 users.
