I'm not an expert on this but I ran into the same error trying to dockerize the install process. It seemed to be caused by accidentally running python 2 instead of python 3.

Did you follow the "create a Virtualenv" step linked to from http://iepy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html ?

Indeed, that error appears when running on python 2, which isn't supported.

Should be better to print a more informative error message here. Wondering how easy that would be.

Checking for a python version is not too hard, I submitted a PR that does that
