I also ran into this exact same SyntaxError issue with google-apputils
while trying to build with Python 3.
I also found the following issue with google-apputils-python:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760129
It looks like google-apputils-python declares a versioned dependency on
python-dateutil <2 for some reason, while in Debian we have (for Python
3, only) python-dateutil 2.0. (And for Debian we have the requirement
that packages must build without downloading random content from the
Internet, e.g. through ez_setup and the like.)
