Error parsing opt stack cinder setup cfg SyntaxError operator not allowed in environment markers

Question

Hi Guys, 

I am getting the below error, when trying to install OpenStack using Devstack.

“File “/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py”, line 1220, in comparison
raise SyntaxError(repr(cop)+” operator not allowed in environment markers”)
SyntaxError: ‘<' operator not allowed in environment markers
error in setup command: Error parsing /opt/stack/cinder/setup.cfg: SyntaxError: '<' operator not allowed in environment markers"

Am I Missing something?

Hi@akhtar,

I think you are using previous version of pip. 

Try upgrading pip and setuptools in your system. 

$ pip install –upgrade pip
$ pip install –upgrade setuptools

It helped for me.

Thank You
