Hi, Everybody!

I'm trying to install pyfits on stampede, and I"m running into an error:

"""
 Setup script exited with error in setup command: Error parsing /tmp/easy_install-s4Mxa7/stsci.distutils-0.3.7/setup.cfg: TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not None
"""

Has anyone see that before, and know what to do about it?  The python I'm using is the one dowloaded with yt this afternoon, 2.7.13.  This happens if I use both pip and from the git repository of pyfits.

Thanks,
d.
