I'm having the same issue.

When I try to install it via pip it goes:

$ pip install ethereum==2.1.1
Collecting ethereum==2.1.1
  Using cached ethereum-2.1.1.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    error in ethereum setup command: 'tests_require' must be a string or list of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers; Unordered types are not allowed

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-SuNVRN/ethereum/
(pyethapp)

I was able to install the package via pip3 but this does not affect the pyethapp run and same error is triggered

Issue seems to come from the empty dependency list at https://github.com/ethereum/pyethereum/blob/develop/setup.py#L36

@kachar : Have you find any solution for this problem

Oh my god. Finally, update your lib to the latest python and latest dependencies.
It is so... need to be done

This is a solution for the error above:

Thanks @mezrin for pointing to solution. After running pip install setuptools==37 I am now able to complete installation.

pip install setuptools==37:
Downloading setuptools-37.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (481kB)
100% |████████████████████████████████| 491kB 540kB/s
Installing collected packages: setuptools
Found existing installation: setuptools 38.5.1
Uninstalling setuptools-38.5.1:
Successfully uninstalled setuptools-38.5.1
Successfully installed setuptools-37.0.0

Installation after downgrading setuptools was able to succeed. This isn't a long term solution since ethereum foundation is relying on a bug that was later resolved.

Hi Guys... I am now getting such error on Ubuntu with python 2.7.14 :

okay.... looks like that project is dead and community is working on py-evm : https://github.com/ethereum/py-evm
