Those errors suggest you are inside a Python environment. For example, the Python REPL starts with three chevrons, >>>. You don't want this. Run these commands outside of Python in the system command prompt either through Windows or Linux etc.

The following worked for me on Python 2.7:

> pip install pypiwin32

Also try the following from this post:

> python -m pip install pypiwin32
