You can ignore the SyntaxErrors.  They're generated on scripts that haven't
been ported to Python 3 because they're essentially obsolete.  I should move
them out of the main tree (I don't want to delete them yet).

That's you're real problem.  You need to be able to access PyPI to download
the dependencies, or make sure they are installed by your OS package manager.
If you do the latter, you will have to tell virtualenv to use the system
packages:

* `virtualenv --system-site-packages` when you create the venv
* Uncomment the `sitepackages=True` line in the tox.ini
