Python-daemon 2.0.5 will not install using pip

I get errors when trying to install python-daemon 2.0.5 with pip and python 2.6. I know there are other questions related to python-daemon 2.0.3 with this problem. But these answers indicate that it should be fixed.

I also tried to install old versions, no luck. Although, if I start with the new virtualenv, I can install 1.5.6. However in this virtualenv I get the same error with 2.0.5 and 1.5.6

This is strange! I also tried updating virtualenv, but that didn't work.

To run it, I had to switch to Python 2.7.
