Error in trying to install python package

Question

I am trying to install python-master-recsys package and i get the error as follows:

File "C:\Users\Dixon\AppData\Local\Temp\easy_install-s6dnujjk\csc-pysparse-1.1.1.4\setup.py", line 33
    print 'setuptools module not found.'
                                       ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

How do i debug this error? I am using python 3.5

You can't debug your way out of this one. You are installing a package that only works on Python 2.

You'll have to ask the project if they plan to provide a Python 3 compatible version, or look for a different project that implements the same functionality. The scipy project has sparse matrix types too, for example, and is Python 3 compatible.

The alternative is to switch to Python 2; if that is a good idea depends on your requirements and other dependencies.
