I am trying to install PyObjC using pip3 install pyobjc-core, on a Mac with Python 3.5 and OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite). I get the following error message:

Similar, if I try just to do pip3 install pyobjc, I get a similar trackback, ending with these fatal words:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/v0/bzvt8grs6mv33_j13_wdwqs80000gr/T/pip-build-432fq8a3/pyobjc-core/
Any hope for me, or is there, for instance, some known incompatibility with the system bundled version of Python?
I am a month late here but the first line of the error is:
xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance
You need to install the full version of xcode from the app store not just the command line tools. :)
