I am trying to install the Tornado Python package with pip, but I get this error. I have tried upgrading Python from 2.7.7 to 2.7.14 but I still get the error. I have tried pip install --upgrade pip as well.

Is pip using the wrong version of Python?

lx@LX ~ $ python -V
Python 2.7.14
lx@LX ~ $ pip -V
pip 1.5.4 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
lx@LX ~ $ pip install tornado

Fixed by installing pip again

lx@LX ~/Downloads $ sudo python get-pip.py
[sudo] password for lx:
