Hi Fabian, I see you have a too old pip version. Sorry for not giving you a faster reply, but just do: $ pip install --upgrade pip
And you will get the latest version from PyPI (0.8.1 by now). I tried to install the package you did, and it worked here. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/294334/ Just update it! Hugo.
