i recently got the same error as you are , and i fix it without using the pip command

1. download the spynner zip file and unzip to the C:\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages here is the link: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/spynner

2. download the autopy file and install the windows installer https://pypi.python.org/pypi/autopy/0.51
