Works for me:

$ pip install --user ibt DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020.

I wonder if you have a newer version of pip...

[rcook]

$ pip --version pip 20.2.3 from /Users/richard.cook/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

[rcook]

Joerg has pip 21.0. The fix is to upgrade ibt to Python 3.x.
