BTW i am using python 3.6. What is the problem ?

Answer 1

This seems to be a bug in pip under windows.

The following steps helped me solve the problem: 1. uninstall pip:

python -m pip uninstall pip setuptools

2. reinstall pip with [this script][1].
3. run get-pip.py from within your venv

This should solve it.
