scrapy startproject error

Question

I am running into the following error while using the command scrapy startproject to create a project. I am running Python 2.7.6 through canopy on Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit). I have installed all the required dependencies still I cannot find a solution to this. Can anyone help me with this?

Python27\Scripts>scrapy startproject ps_localize
