I get the following error on an Ubuntu 14.04 server using python 3.4.3:

Hm. Master passed tests with python 3.4.6 in travis: https://travis-ci.org/mitodl/pylti/jobs/364764509

But maybe the packaged version is slightly different from master.

@amir-qayyum-khan can you take a look at this?

I just happened to see this. I ran it on python 3.4.3 specifically and it installed without a problem.

One quick fix might be to remove the smart apostrophe at position 2314 in README.rst and elsewhere in that file

This occurred in my jenkins instance. It actually passed fine after a second attempt, so I might just be confused.
