I am getting error while installing tethne through pip

@adil1993 I have encountered the same error and am still working on fixing it. I thought pip install python-dotenv was helpful, as a similar discussion mentions: https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv/issues/113#issue-324759355. However, I couldn't fix this. The cause seems in pip install distribute. When you may find a way to solve, I would appreciate it to share it with me. Thank you in advance.

@adil1993 and @sshojiro, are you using Python 3 by any chance? It's not fully supported I believe. I did get your error when I ran pip3 install tethne. Installing the development version seemed to work fine though pip3 install tethne --pre.

@jdamerow Wow thank you for your comment, it was a great help to me and it worked! I'm looking forward to a stable version of the library for python3.
