I am facing an issue while trying to install the requirements for my django project.

I am unable to figure out why I'm getting this error.

Can someone lead me in the right direction?

I ran into this same error while using the native Python 2.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.6 to install django-imagekit. Some googling revealed this:

https://github.com/jezdez/django_compressor/issues/181

which suggested this:

pip install versiontools

and then I was able to install django-imagekit.
