I tried installing the autogui python extension:
pip3 install pyautogui
And this installation attempt results in the following error message:
Collecting pyautogui
Using cached PyAutoGUI-0.9.33.zip
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

My Mac OS version is OS X El Capitan 10.11.3, my Python3 version is 3.5.1, and my pip3 version is pip 8.0.2.
There seems to be a similar question on Stackoverflow (Cannot install pip install pyautogui, error code 1), but the fix does not apply to my problem; I have already installed "pillow". Also, I have read the documentation (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyAutoGUI), and installed pyobjc-core as well as pyobjc. Setuptools are installed and up-to-date.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this error (and install pyautogui)? I think the error might originate, because _PyObject_REPR is missing in Python 3.5.1.
I found a workaround. This code by "Kentzo" fixed the issue for me:
pip3 install https://github.com/GreatFruitOmsk/pyobjc-core/releases/download/v3.0.5.dev0/pyobjc-core-3.0.5.tar.gz
Since the code is not written by me, please use this workaround at your own risk.
