I copied your requirement file and executed it with python 2.7 with no problems. I think you should try to rewrite the file from scratch in case there is invisible characters messing with your pip install. Another solution could be to paste your requirement into a basic text editor such as gedit or notepad and then copy them back to your requirement file to try deleting the invisible characters.

If it still does not work, try installing each packages one by one via the command line to find out which one causes the problem.
