>Summary: Syntax error in ‘version’ module 


Initial Comment:
I am unable to install python-daemon.

This happened sometime around 10/11 Jan 2015.

This is related to #314945.

Please find attached 2 files. ~/.pip/pip.log and the output.txt from running "pip install python-daemon"

Thanks for your help.

Message:
The reported error is a “SyntaxError”, on a statement that defines a dict literal.

Dict literals are a part of Python syntax since version 2.7, so I guess you are running an earlier version of Python. That won't work, and the metadata for this package declares it won't work.

The metadata for ‘python-daemon’ 2.x declares a minimum Python version of 2.7.

Does it work when you use Python 2.7 or later?
