"pip install models" - "python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1

Question

After trying to install 'models' module I get this error:

C:\Users\Filip>pip install models
Collecting models

If I try to install module 'base' this error shows up:

If I attempt to install other packages, everything works, setuptools and pip are updated. It's crucial I have this module for my project and I can't do shit without it.

It looks like models was renamed to pymodels then renamed again to doqu (source code) which I was able to install the latest version from pypi. Is this legacy code? Will Doqu work for your purposes?

pip install doqu
