Have you tried this?

    pip install onkyo-eiscp

Using the pip associated with your intended Python executable. "python 
-m pip" should also work, where "python" is the python you're intending 
to use it with.

Thus (using pip, the command line flavour of the module, should be 
preinstalled with Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4):

    [~]fleet*> pip install onkyo-eiscp
