I meet the same issue on my Ubuntu 14.04 VM when I tried to install pylint. There was error saying "UserWarning: Unknown distribution option", which indicates the verison of my setuptools might be too old. But update didn't fix the issue. So I tried to download the source file from the project page lazy-object-proxy.1.4.3 zip file After download the zip file, simply installed by the zip file solved my problem:

pip install PATH_TO_THE_ZIP_FILE
