installation failure

I just tried to install SPIDERMAN from the GitHub version, but get the following error. Is this a python version issue?

@jkteske I was able to fix this by cloning the repository, removing the license field from the setup.py file, and running python setup.py install. This may work for you as well — but I tried a couple fixes at the same time, so no promises!
