[Tim Graham]

Django 1.9 is now available:

https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/dec/01/django-19-released/

With the release of Django 1.9, Django 1.7 has reached end-of-life. Django 1.7.11 is the final release of the 1.7 series and all users are encouraged to upgrade to Django 1.8+ as soon as possible so they can continue to receive security updates. Django 1.8 LTS will receive security updates until April 2018. Django 1.4 (the previous LTS) reached end of life on October 1, 2015. See the downloads page [1] for a table of supported versions and the future release schedule.

You need to upgrade pip. 

See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/releases/1.9/#syntaxerror-when-installing-django-with-pip-1-5-6

It's mentioned in the release notes (specifically at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/releases/1.9/#syntaxerror-when-installing-django-with-pip-1-5-6)

I see the error too, no virtualenv or pip here, this is my install sequence:

tar zxf Django-1.9.tar.gz
cd Django-1.9
python3 ./setup.py build
sudo python3 ./setup.py install

I later discovered that it's actually a bug in setuptools 5.5/5.5.1. I'll update the documentation.
