I have tried to run pip install --upgrade setuptools and sudo easy_install -U setuptools but neither works. How can I solve this problem?

Solution

According to this line SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print', I think it needs Python 2.x to run the setup.py. Whether to use parentheses in print is the different syntax of Python 2 and Python 3.

This is the solution from the Github issue:

There are a few fixes that will get you running, in order of least work to most:

Switch over to python2.7 for your will installs.

Try to upgrade wsgiref with pip install --upgrade wsgiref, and see if the latest version works with your setup, and with will (if it doesn't, you'd notice the http/webhooks stuff not working.

If you try 2) and it works, submit a PR here with the upgraded version in requirements.txt. (You can find out what versions you've got by using pip freeze).
