All PRs are failing because AppVeyor is reporting a syntax error

AppVeyor tests are all failing with a syntax error:

Probably pypa/pip#4059

pip 9.0.1 should be released in the meantime, and I see that the latest build worked: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jreback/pandas-465/history

this looks ok now
