Getting this error when running pip install -U selenium. Mid way through the script, it gets the following SyntaxError:

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1
Since it is a Syntax Error, I assume it is a python version problem, I'm running 3.2.2.
Pip did come with a pip-3.2.exe file, which I tried to run. But I got the same error. I'm pretty new to Python so it might be something simple.
And how can it be a syntaxError? pip is an already made program.
Running Win7, Python 3.2.2
Selenium does not support Python 3. Use Python 2.7 instead.
Sadly, almost all Python software requires Python 2.x.
[Update]
Selenium supports Python 3.x now.

I installed pyAudioAnalysis on python2.7 using pycharm (linux). Trying to run audioBasicIO.py gives the following error. I have installed eyeD3 but it does not work.

Is my installation incorrect? This is the first time I use this library, does anyone have any suggestions.
f-strings aren't supported for python 2.7. You need python 3.6 or above to use them. Here is a good workaround, in which you can use f-strings in below python 3.6.
I just installed the python stanford nlp which went fine :-
pip install stanfordnlp
from a python shell, I am trying to instantiate the package and I get the following error :-
>>> import stanfordnlp
Traceback (most recent call last):

^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
The line:
return f"<{self.__class__.__name__} index={self.index};words={self.words}>"
Indicates that the package is intended for Python 3.6 or higher. It is returning an f-string, which was introduced in version 3.6. You are running on version 2.7.
Time to upgrade?
Why can't I install packages in my PyCharm?I remember that i can install some packages a couple of days ago...
Detail:
The error output of the command:
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is likely because you're using a very old version of PyCharm that was buggy. You're currently using 3.4.1 (as shown in your error log), when you should actually be using 4.5.3.
I tried to install a python package "BeautifulSoup" and it gave a error message: "pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound". After going through stackoverflow website I download a python script and ran it:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/tools/oodtsite.publisher/trunk/distribute_setup.py
Now it is throwing a new error message when I try to install sudo pip install beautifulsoup4:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 45

Another interesting thing is when a type a wrong command in terminal like "lss" or anything error message is like this appear:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/command-not-found", line 8, in <module>
import CommandNotFound
File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
from CommandNotFound import CommandNotFound
File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/CommandNotFound.py", line 13
except gdbm.error, err:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Could someone guide me in how to resolve this? My system:
kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 (64 bit)
desktop: MATE 1.10.0
distro: LinuxMint 2 betsy
Solution
Changed the symblic link "python" in /usr/bin to point at "/usr/bin/python3.4" to "/usr/bin/python2.7".
Other thing is "mintMenu" the advanced start menu in the panel is now working again.
while running npm install (e.g. https://github.com/donpark/html2jade), I run into this error:

python --version generates 'Python 2.7.1'
This would not be a syntax error in Python 2.7.1. A quick workaround would be to run this programme as python /full/path/to/scriptname.py, which will actually use Python 2.7.1.
