Distutils error when installing pyperclip into Mu editor on Windows 10

I'm trying to install the pyperclip module for the Mu editor and running into this pile of errors when I run it through the command line:

Cannot install python package in Git Bash

I'm trying to install a package from my company's internal artifactory storage. I'm getting 2 exceptions in Gitbash that I can't understand. When I run Pip Freeze I don't see the install package, so I don't believe it is already installed.
After reading the exceptions, I don't understand what's going on, is anyone familiar with this?

It looks like you have the wrong version of the tables package installed. Trying installing the required version with pip install tables==3.2.0.

What would you suggest?
Thank you for the read!

It appears like you are using python 2; if that is correct Django version 2 only supports python 3. Please refer to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/releases/2.0/#python-compatibility
You could try installing a lower version of Django:
pip install "Django<2"

you may try:
pip3 install django

I'm new to python, searching for the error code and using the steps provided by other threads doesn't solved the problem.

Just write pip install python-daemon==2.1.2
No need to download python-daemon-2.1.2.tar.gz file while installing from PyPI using pip.
If you want to install using downloaded package follow these steps
tar xvf python-daemon-2.1.2.tar.gz
cd python-daemon-2.1.2
python setup.py install

How can I solve this?

The module seems to support Python 2 only. The setup.py contains a very dubious hack to evaluate the __version__ variable:
def get_version(filename):
"""Extract __version__ from file by parsing it."""
with open(filename) as fp:
for line in fp:
if line.startswith('__version__'):
exec(line)
return __version__
What this does is to find a line that starts with __version__, namely __version__ = '0.6', and then execute it as dynamic code with exec, which works. However in Python 3 this doesn't modify local variables and thus __version__ is not defined on the next line.
Even if you fixed this bug, you'd met a countless others as the package is not Python-3-ready at all. The easiest solution would be to use Python 2. But even then I am not too sure if this works correctly on Windows as it is written for the mplayer/mencoder suite, and seems to be very Linux/POSIX minded in its code.
