AttributeError: class Extension has no attribute '__mro__'

Hey Michele,

I am trying to install libstempo but get different errors on different platforms. This is the OSX error that I get:

WARNING: The libstempo API has changed substantially (for the better) from versions 1.X to 2.X. If you need the older 1.X API, you can get an older libstempo from https://pypi.python.org/simple/libstempo, or checkout the libstempo1 branch on GitHub - https://github.com/vallis/libstempo/tree/libstempo1 Found tempo2 install in [u'/Users/vkrishnan/T2runtime/'], will use it.

I tried pip install and setup.puy but both give the same error. Can you please tell me how to fix it?

My softwares: conda 4.3.25 Python 2.7.11 :: Anaconda custom (x86_64) OSX El Capitan 10.11.6 gcc (GCC) 4.9.2 20141029 g++ (GCC) 4.9.2 20141029 Tempo2 2017.03.1

Thanks, Vivek

Some googling suggested it is a conflict with cython and setuptools which should have been resolved in the versions I am using but doesn't seem like it.

My versions: setuptools: 36.4.0-py27_1 cython: 0.26-py27_0

Okay, Changing

backports_abc: 0.4-py27_0 --> 0.5-py27_0 tornado: 4.3-py27_0 --> 4.5.2-py27_0

seems to have done the trick. Sorry for posting the issue too soon! May be this will help others at some point. Please close this issue.

@vivekvenkris, I actually just had this problem as well and moving to Cython 0.25 from Cython 0.26 worked as well. Maybe this was done internally when you downgraded tornado?

Either, way @vallis and I should make take a look at this so it will fork for newer Cython versions.
