This has been working fine earlier, but now fails:

I got this problem with pcapdump module installing too, and the lower version of setuptools DOES NOT work neither ! Any solutions?

[hhlari]

I have same issue

[kenballus]

It builds if you change the version to '1.0' in setup.py.

It builds if you change the version to '1.0' in setup.py.

It is worth noting there is two setup.pyfiles, I had to change both before it would build.
