The issue lies with how backports.functools_lru_cache is resolved as a dependency. The package is required conditionally on the Python version being 2.7. I suspect that the version of pip you have isn't honoring that dependency properly.
I just installed jaraco.functools with pip 7.1.2 and it installed backports.functools_lru_cache as required.
I suspect you either need to upgrade pip or install backports.functools_lru_cache manually (i.e. pip install backports.functools_lru_cache
).
Let me know if that doesn't solve it.

Thanks very much, installing it manually solved it. jessis's pip version is 1.5.7. however that came to be.

hi,
ive installed "irc" with pip, but i had to download irc-13.1.tar.gz manually because the scripts/ directory was nowhere to be found.
steps to reproduce: tar xzf irc-13.1.tar.gz && cd irc-13.1/scripts && python irccat.py
the error comes with python 2.7+, python 3 says wrong syntax
