Thanks @Tikam02 for the report.
The problem seems to be that you're running python (and pip) version 3. Unfortunately txsocksx dependency is not available for python 3.

@meejah mentioned on irc that there is python3 compatible code that can replace txsocksx that he wrote.
I think he might be referring to:
https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon/blob/master/txtorcon/socks.py
though it might be even easier to just use the web_agent method on the circ object. Thoughts?

[juga0]

Yes, we should use web_agent, as @DonnchaC and i started to do in this branch e0efe0a#diff-169c1db5ebb727a25ac9868e03e8bca5R162
