I am running OS X El Capitan v. 10.11.3

I am trying to install PyAutoGUI

On Terminal, I did the following successfully: 

sudo pip3 install pyobjc-core  
sudo pip3 install pyobjc

When I tried running "sudo pip3 install pyautogui" I got the following error in Terminal:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-skuvquyu/pyscreeze

I am not sure what to do about this so if anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
