You're trying to use Python 3.3, but somehow your version of pip is 
written for Python 2, which is why you're getting syntax errors.

This could happen if you have two versions of pip installed, and Windows 
is getting confused about which version goes with which version of 
Python. Or possibly you only have one version of pip, but the wrong one. 
I don't know.

You might try reinstalling pip, making sure you get a Python 3 
compatible version.
