``SyntaxError`` when installing Django with pip ≤ 1.5.6

``SyntaxError`` when installing Django setuptools 5.5.x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When installing Django 1.9+ with pip ≤ 1.5.6, you'll see::

When installing Django 1.9+ with setuptools 5.5.x, you'll see::

    Compiling django/conf/app_template/apps.py ...

      File "django/conf/app_template/apps.py", line 4

                                 ^

    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

1. Install pip_. The easiest is to use the `standalone pip installer`_. If your

   distribution already has ``pip`` installed, you might need to update it if

   work. You might see some :ref:`harmless SyntaxErrors

   <syntax-error-old-pip-django-19>` also.)

   it's outdated. If it's outdated, you'll know because installation won't

   work. If you're using an old version of setuptools, you might see some

   :ref:`harmless SyntaxErrors <syntax-error-old-setuptools-django-19>` also.

2. Take a look at virtualenv_ and virtualenvwrapper_. These tools provide

   isolated Python environments, which are more practical than installing
