    Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-nnpqo0do/wsgiref

I have tried the solution mentioned here. But its not working.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Try this:

Download tagg-0.12.tar.gz from here
Extract the files to a folder
Open cmd and cd to the folder you extracted your files (you have to navigate to the folder where your setup.py is. It does not work from any other path)
Run command - python setup.py install
