-rc2 is a patchlevel version, not a prerelease version. Thus, code that looks for >=2.1.0-rc2 wants a version *later* than 2.1.0 final. Your requirement should list >=2.1.0 instead. To avoid this problem in future, do not use '-' for prerelease tags; setuptools recognizes '2.1.0rc2' or '2.1.0.rc2' (or '2.1rc2') as equivalent prerelease versions, but '-' means "post-release patch".
