Error during Swift standalone install [error in setup command: Invalid environment marker python version>=3.0]

I have been trying to do the manual install of Openstack Swift (SAIO) as detailed here:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/development_saio.html

However, when I get to the point where I need to build swift using the command:

sudo python setup.py develop

I get the following error:

error in setup command: Invalid environment marker python version>=3.0

I've followed all the other instructions to a T and they've passed without any errors, but I can't work out why/what is demanding a python version>=3.0

My own version of python is 2.7.6

I'd appreciate some help!

Thanks

Instead of modifying requirements.txt file you can try to upgrade pip and virtualenv if you are using it.

pip install -U pip
pip install -U virtualenv

I had the same problem. Looking through the files for the string python_version (using command grep -R python_version ./*) I found out that it was only present in the file requirements.txt:

./requirements.txt:dnspython>=1.12.0;python_version<'3.0'
./requirements.txt:dnspython3>=1.12.0;python_version>='3.0'

Since I am not using Python 3, I edited requirements.txt and commented out the second line, and removed python_version<'3.0' from the first.

That solved the problem for me, hope it helps.
