When I run this code in python 2.7, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:Python26Libsite-packagespyutilib.subprocess-3.5.4setup.py", line 30, in <module>
    long_description = read("README.txt"),
  File "C:Python26Libsite-packagespyutilib.subprocess-3.5.4setup.py", line 19, in read
    return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), *rnames)).read()
NameError: global name "__file__" is not defined

code is:

import os
from setuptools import setup


def read(*rnames):
    return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), *rnames)).read()


setup(name="pyutilib.subprocess",
