Error: SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'exec' while install evernote

[bruno-robert]

I've been getting the same error when trying to install pypdfocr with pip install pypdfocr on OSX.
The problem seems to occur when pypdfocr tries to install the Evernote. In python 2.7, exec is written without parentheses but in python 3.x I think it's supposed to have them (and that is where the problem is coming from). Maybe adding a version of pypdfocr without Evernote support could be a quick fix.

copy/paste of the said error
