When I run $ pip install brew on Python 2.7.14 :: Anaconda, Inc., ubuntu 17.10, I get the following error:

(Python27) vat26@vatsal:~$ pip install brew

Hi I got the same error. Did you find any solution for this?

Yeah! Actually pip install brew gives this error but you use the second command pip install git+https://github.com/viisar/brew.git. This worked for me.
