pip won't install package

Question

I am trying to install this package: https://github.com/gka/pyshpgeocode using pip.

I get the error message:

Cannot unpack file c:\users\alexis\appdata\local\temp\pip-xljjwr-unpack\pyshpgeocode.git (downloaded from c:\users\alexis\appdata\local\temp\pip-jtyh7r-build, content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8); cannot detect archive format
Cannot determine archive format of c:\users\alexis\appdata\local\temp\pip-jtyh7r-build

What is this problem and how else can I install this package?

pip install git+git://github.com/gka/pyshpgeocode.git
