[Distutils] installing bagit-python from the Library of Congress GitHub

Hello,
I'm trying to install bagit-python from the LoC Github https://github.com/
LibraryOfCongress/bagit-python
I have Windows 10 and I downloaded Python 2.7.12 and the most recent
iteration of bag-it. According to the README file I should be able to type
in "pip install bagit" to install bagit globally, but instead I get
"SyntaxEror: invalid syntax." It's my understanding that pip is
automatically part of 2.7.12.
There are no instructions as to what to do if this happens. I should be
able to get to something called bagit.py, but it's unclear what that means
as I can't get any further. If you could let me know what I can do it would
be much appreciated. I'm pretty new to this.
Best,
Ben
