Is this because setup.py is written in Python 2.x? Is there a bundle available for Python3 as well?

[jamesbroadhead]

This is resolved in #71, which adds python3 support

I'm still getting the same error when installing with pip3

I got a notification and retried installing, the error still persists. Here is the error log :

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 19.1 is available.

I experienced this error as well (Python 3.7.2 and pip 19.1.1). With pip2 it works as expected.

I'm experiencing the same error even with pip2
