Getting Invalid syntax error while installing Django 1.9a1 and 1.9b1

[Shashank]

When I am trying to install django 1.9a1 or 1.9b1 using pip on python version 2.7.6. I am getting syntax error though installation is not getting effected because of this.

Compiling /tmp/pip_build_root/django/django/conf/app_template/apps.py ...
  File "/tmp/pip_build_root/django/django/conf/app_template/apps.py", line 4
    class {{ camel_case_app_name }}Config(AppConfig):
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

and 

Compiling /tmp/pip_build_root/django/django/conf/app_template/models.py ...
  File "/tmp/pip_build_root/django/django/conf/app_template/models.py", line 1
    {{ unicode_literals }}from django.db import models
                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What version of pip? I have no trouble with Python 2.7.6 and pip 7.1.2.

I also encountered this error when using pip 1.5.6 (default version in Debian stable). I guess we should at least document that (suggesting pip install --upgrade pip?), as people do use stable software :-)

As noted in a ​django-developers thread, setuptools 5.5.x is actually to blame for the warning. I'll update the note added in the above commits.
