Are you trying to install this package?

https://pypi.org/project/collect/

It's alpha software that does not claim to support Python 3. The last
release was in 2011. The web site it links to is defunct.

Maybe that wasn't what you intended to install? Check the spelling of
the package you're trying to install - maybe it's named slightly
differently.
