Hello there support team, I got the same error while installing it. I also tried installing it manually but still nothing. I'm using django version 2.0. Please help.

python3.7 , django2.1.4,
pip3 install django_socketio and python3 setup.py install, both got this:

except IndexError, KeyError:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.

I had the same problem too, but I found that while pip install django-socketio returns an error, pip install -U django-socketio works seamlessly.

I used python 2.7, it works. you have to degrade your python version.

@lindalibjchn I think Python 2 is going out of style and will have less support so its not an option.

but now that we know that it works with python 2 and not 3, maybe we can just update it from python 2 to python 3 and itll work again

The latest version of django-socketio is released on 2014. It's seems pretty old. I think it's better to use Django Channels.

For references,
Check documentation

It's not a great idea to degrade to 2.7. It's pretty old and not recommended..
