After update setuptools fix the installation issue.

pip install -U setuptools

[gotcha]

Which version of setuptools did fix the issue ?

[toolforger]

I guess whatever the current version was on Dec 2014. pip install -U upgrades the package.
For me, it upgraded from setuptools 12.2 to setuptools-17.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl .
