Running Python pip and easy_install throwing up errors

I'm tying to install a new package I have been recommended using either pip or easy_install and both are throwing up the below error and I can figure out why.

I have cleared the temp folder as thought this was the issue at first.

I have just stuck the pip error up but can add easy_install if needed

Solution

The code of PyMySQL uses Unicode literals.

The py3.2 parts of the directory names in the traceback of your error message tells me you're using Python 3.2. While Python 2 had Unicode literals, Python 3.0 to 3.2 didn't: The syntax was removed with Python 3.0:

You can no longer use u"..." literals for Unicode text.

It was re-introduced with Python 3.3 by PEP 414 for backwards compatibility reasons.

As Boaz stated and Padraic pointed out, PyMySQL requires Python 2.x ≥ 2.6 or 3.x ≥ 3.3, thus why the authors of PyMySQL felt free to use the Unicode literal syntax in their code.
