Syntax error in "evernote/setup.py", line 6

One of pypdfocr pre-requisites is evernote.
When running pip3 install pypdfocr I get the following exception:

$ pip3 install pypdfocr
...
Collecting evernote (from pypdfocr)
  Using cached evernote-1.25.1.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):

        exec x
             ^
    SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'exec'

Above is on Cygwin on Windows 7.

It falls over because you're trying to install the evernote library under Python 3, but it's written for Python 2.
