Cannot install copydog on OS X

When installing copydog on my mac I encounter the following error :

It goes on and on again..

Using sudo doesn't make a difference

Must be a version conflict with packages shipped by default with Mac OS. It works well in a virtualenv

I am having the same problem here. Can someone help me solve this problem?

[m-baumgartner]

Honestly I gave up installing it on my OSX environment. It was just for testing purposes anyway. I did my testing inside a virtualenv( see here ).

@m-baumgartner Thanks a lot, bro. virtualenv worked for me.
