Trouble install directly from pip

Hello,
I tried installing directly from pip and got the following errors:

Hi @burkesquires. Thanks for the bug report. Looks like a problem with the version of Python being used.

We don't use rubra anymore, since most of its useful parts became absorbed into Ruffus. Perhaps you might have better luck working with Ruffus directly, or having a look at some of the code we've written around it:

And a trivial example:
