title: Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1
body: <p>I am trying to do <code>make install</code>, but I keep getting an error. I already tried following this answer: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17886647/cant-install-via-pip-because-of-egg-info-error">Can&#39;t install via pip because of egg_info error</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /abc/abc_env/build/MySQL-python
  Storing debug log for failure in /Users/Pat/.pip/pip.log
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the full debug log: <a href="http://pastebin.com/cnGgWU4G" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pastebin.com/cnGgWU4G</a></p>
  
  <p>Here’s the Makefile:</p>
  
  <pre><code>virtualenv-2.7 my_env &amp;&amp; \
  source my_env/bin/activate &amp;&amp; \
  pip install -r requirements.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It looks like the problem only happens in the virtual environment. I am able to do <code>pip install mysql-python</code> without a problem, but <code>pip install -r requirements.txt</code> has errors when trying to install <code>mysql-python</code></p>
