pygame_sdl2.error is out of date

I get the following error while running python setup.py install

shivam@shivam-Inspiron-3542 ~/Documents/My Projects/Python/pygame/pygame_sdl2-master $ python setup.py install
pygame_sdl2.error is out of date.

Also, i get the following while running python fix_virtualenv.py

shivam@shivam-Inspiron-3542 ~/Documents/My Projects/Python/pygame/pygame_sdl2-master $ python fix_virtualenv.py
/usr/include/python2.7 is not a symlink. Perhaps this script has already been run.

For the first problem, please make sure you have cython installed. For the second, please ensure you're using a virtualenv.

Ok. Thanks man! That did the job. At first I didn't knew I had to separately install cython (basically, I didn't even knew what cython was. I am still a noob. Sigh!).
