Pip install Scrappy - "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

I am trying to install Scrappy. I have Python 3.6 installed and am on Windows.

I have tried this:

py -3.5-32 -m pip install Scrappy

However, got the following:

Collecting Scrappy
  Using cached Scrappy-0.3.0.alpha.4.tar.gz
Collecting guessit (from Scrappy)
  Using cached guessit-2.1.2.tar.gz
Collecting tvdb_api (from Scrappy)
  Using cached tvdb_api-1.10.tar.gz
Collecting hachoir-metadata (from Scrappy)
  Using cached hachoir-metadata-1.3.3.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "C:\Users\USER~1.NAME\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-1tu2hkos\hachoir-metadata\setup.py", line 65
        except OSError, err:
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

----------------------------------------   
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\USER~1.NAME\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-1tu2hkos\hachoir-metadata\

Which is because of setuptools? So I upgraded it and then tried to install Scrappy but got the same error message.

Anybody know why this is happening?

Update, error when attempting to install Scrapy:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
