I'm getting this error too. I'm on 3.5.1

the solution is just change the linkedin folder in the python package with the downloaded folder named linkedin and it will work with you

@Leo-G seems like a connection error. Are you connected to internet>

Just reviving this thread... The error has nothing to do with a connection problem (it states "invalid syntax"). The LinkedIn API only works on python 2, you have to upgrade it: pip install --upgrade https://github.com/ozgur/python-linkedin/tarball/master
