Second this recommendation. I saw some NEWS entries recently regarding
pip and spaces in file names.

If you're on the absolute latest pip, it would quite possibly work,
but I don't know if that works with 2.7, and if so, with which 2.7.x.
Avoid spaces unless you're sure.

In fact, looking at the error messages, I suspect this isn't a
*potential* set of problems, but quite probably the actual problem.
