pip install xlwings fails

I'm on MacOS Mojave Version 10.14.6, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. Python version: 2.7.

"pip install xlwings" fails for me. I have tried to resolve this by upgrading setuptools with pip install -U setuptools

However, this does not fix the issue. The full error message for "pip install xlwings" is as follows:

xlwings declares appscript as a dependency but it doesn't limit version; appscript doesn't properly declare Python version compatibility (xlwings does it properly) so pip is trying to install the latest version which is not compatible with Python 2.7. Try to limit versions this way:

pip install "xlwings<0.17" "appscript<1.2"
