Answer 1

From the code in distutils/utils.py:

def subst_vars (s, local_vars):
    """Perform shell/Perl-style variable substitution on 'string'.  Every
    occurrence of '$' followed by a name is considered a variable, and
    variable is substituted by the value found in the 'local_vars'
    dictionary, or in 'os.environ' if it's not in 'local_vars'.
    'os.environ' is first checked/augmented to guarantee that it contains
    certain values: see 'check_environ()'.  Raise ValueError for any
    variables not found in either 'local_vars' or 'os.environ'.
    """

This is utilizing the utility that's quite common in bash/Perl scripting, where you can substitute in a value using $:

SOMEPATH='$HOME/somefolder'

echo($SOMEPATH)
# '/path/to/somefolder'

Your username, unfortunately, mimics this and will cause problems until it is changed

Answer 2

I'm certain that your username is the reason for this error. Python is trying to create a string of your username but the $ is causing issues. You can see this in the line ValueError: invalid variable '$'in''. Although there are other solutions, changing your username to DelSin will prevent many other headaches too.
