It looks like it's setup for a 2.x installation. there are 2 real branches of python, 2.x and 3.x while they have a lot of similarities, cross compatibility isn't always possible. https://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3 discusses a few of the differences and helps to decide which way you want to go. Technically you can have and use both concurrently, but projects will typically be written in one or the other. Development is still ongoin on both sides of the decision, so 3.x is not always newer than 2.x it's just a different fork along the line.

Okay then the problem could be than I need to download Python 2.4 to get it to run?

I went ahead and downloaded and installed Python 2.7.6 and then tried to install Pyglet and it gave me the same error message, I'm going to try it with 2.4.1 and see if that works.
