If you use anaconda already as a distribution, stop using pip in that context. Use conda instead and you will stop having headaches. The command lines and procedures for setting up a new environment are pretty well documented here.

conda install python=3.5

Or using specific environments:

conda create -n py35 python=3.5 anaconda
