It looks like you typed that command to the Python prompt, based on the 
distinctively Python "SyntaxError" response.


That command is supposed to be typed to a shell prompt. It is not Python code, 
it is a command line to install a package.


But as with the other responders, it is always helpful if you post the entire 
text, including the prompt you're using (which with show whether this was 
Python or a command shell etc) and if you've got a Python error, the full 
traceback. I suspect some people think this is noisy verbiage that would make 
their question hard to read, but it is usually vital context for the error 
message.

This group helps those who help the group -- by asking questions with 
sufficient information to answer.  Post the ENTIRE trackback.

It also helps us to know:
operating system (e.g., windows 10)
what does "when I try" mean? (e.g. at a windows command prompt I entered 
...)

What the *'s are for
best is to copy the entire session and paste it into your email. Example


I entirely agree.


Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192]

C:\Users\bgailer>pip install foo
Collecting foo
   Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement foo (from 
versions: )

No matching distribution found for foo

We could presume in your case that you tried to enter your pip command 
in a python interactive session.


This is a good guess, and I hope it is correct, because the alternative 
of a SyntaxError in some execution path in pip or dependency or python 
stdlib module or package being installed is worse.



For example:

C:\Users\bgailer>python
Python 3.3.5 (v3.3.5:62cf4e77f785, Mar  9 2014, 10:35:05) [MSC v.1600 64 
bit (AMD64)] on win32

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> pip install foo
   File "", line 1
     pip install foo
   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 >>>

Why did you get that response? Because pip is not a python statement 
(python does not have commands); it is an executable program. So you 
need to use a command prompt or terminal.
