just found this records library (version 0.5.0) for Python (my version is 3.6.0) and tried to install it with
$ pip3 install records
The package loads and finishes but afterwards the installation is quitting with this error:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-cgungwv4/tablib/
The rest of the log says:
Using cached tablib-0.11.3.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Thanks upfront :)
See the issue in tablib: https://github.com/kennethreitz/tablib/issues/267
Your options:
1) wait until they fix the pip version
2) install it yourself from the master branch which seems to have been fixed
