[SOLVED] pip doesn't install applications correctly

Question

I'm trying to install some programs with pip. However, there is something wrong with it because the programs I install do not work correctly and there are loads of syntax errors. I am not sure if the problem stems from python.
Here is the output from
pip install hyde
Downloading/unpacking hyde
Real name of requirement hyde is hyde
Running setup.py egg_info for package hyde

Is this a problem with pip or python?

Answer 1

You are trying to install Python applications that are not compatible with Python 3.
Try using the pip2 command from the python2-pip package.
