You should try pip3 install pync as pip3 works for mac rather than just pip . That is what you should try . If that doesn't work - then you should try to install it from the GitHub link like said in one of the above answers . Hope I was Helpful !! (:

It seems that the package for pync in the Python Package Index does not work properly.

Installing directly from the pync github repo will resolve the issue:

pip install git+https://github.com/SeTeM/pync.git

Just had the same issue. Unzipping the egg file helped to solve the issue:

cd /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
sudo unzip pync-1.4-py2.7.egg
sudo rm -r EGG-INFO pync-1.4-py2.7.egg
