I've been trying to install this Python wrapper for the past two days. I went through all the other questions here on Stack Overflow. Tried literally everything, and nothing seems to work.
Processing /../../../../../wrappers/Python
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-twPZdY-build/
I've reinstalled everything at least twice, updated, tried sudo -H, but nothing seems to work. It seems like a problem with setuptools, but I have no idea how to fix it.
After carefully reading through the error message, I managed to find the file called ffi_build.py under the Python folder I was trying to bind. As stated in the error message, at line 34 there was a module naming statement that contained a '/'. By replacing that '/' with a '.' I solved the issue and managed to bind the Python wrapper with no issue whatsoever.
