Short answer: you have more than one directory with a name that ends with .dist-info directories in the folder specified in an exception because you tried to use different pip/python version to install same package.
Imagine you see:
Multiple .dist-info directories found in <folder from exception>
To check it run
ls <folder from exception>
You will see two or more directories kinda xxx-yyy.dist-info. To fix just remove manually all .dist-info directories:
rm -r <folder from exception>/*.dist-info
Now try again.
Longer answer
When you or pip is building a wheel it needs a source egg directory, to test understand it better we recommend creating super simple python egg or just read that hint carefully.
As you can see normally source egg directory should have only one folder which ends with .dist-info.
However, in your case, you somehow got a second .dist-info in your egg directory.
Often it happens because you tried to run it with a different python number, and the second directory is for you different "I accidentally confused the version when executed pip etc".
Thing is that wheel builder lists all directories and finds once which follow the regexp:
^(?P<namever>(?P<name>.+?)-(?P<ver>\d.*?))\.dist-info$
So you just can clean up such dirs so egg will be recreated and will work with your package
