Install it into a Python version that is supported.

Hi there, I'm not sure conrad was right about bing_translator being Python-2 only. Looking at that traceback, something very strange is happening in your --user packages folder.

Can I suggest switching to using a virtualenv instead? https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/Virtualenvs

I just tried:

pip3.5 install --user bing_translator

in a Bash shell and got "No matching distribution found for bing_translator".

Thank you very much for your help ! I used another solution (yandex_translate with pip3.4).
