Version info

• Package version: Latest
• OS: macOS

Additional context I’m coming from a Node background so this could easily be something I’m doing but I tried this with pipenv, virtualenv, global pip install, and on an AWS Cloud9 instance (to make sure my global pip isn’t muddied) and I got similar results each time so I’m thinking there could be an issue at play.

Ya it looks like it installs just fine globally using pip3 and then I can call it from the CLI so this is likely an issue I had with Python 2.x in whatever environment I was trying with each time.

I think your issue may be coming from attempting to install the package using Python 2.7 and its corresponding version of pip.

I will update the setup.py file to explicitly raise an error when called via Python 2.x

If you have pip3 installed, try pip3 install lyricsgenius. Let me know how it works out for you.
