Install pip3 install quandl -returns Failed cleaning build dir for cryptography

Question

I have following configuration

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Python 3.5
pip 8.1.1.
cffi 1.8.3
IDE PyCharm 2.3 (is not important but just in case)

I have checked the article Python Cryptography package with PIP and setup.py - Failed to install Python Cryptography package with PIP and setup.py. Nothing seems to work out.

I have the latest versions of modules (setuptools e.t.c.)

It seems that is trying to build a constructor and finds some mismatch version

          File "/tmp/pip-build-nrsep1ln/cryptography/src/_cffi_src/utils.py", line 69, in build_ffi
      ffi = FFI()
    File "/home/alex/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/cffi/api.py", line 59, in __init__
      "version mismatch, %s != %s" % (backend.__version__, __version__)
  AssertionError: version mismatch, 1.5.2 != 1.8.3

       MY SYSTEM HAS 1.8.3 VERSION SEE BELOW

I'm running python on a Raspberry Pi (linux as well).

After some research I found that the proper libraries may not be installed to then install quandl, the most likely being ssl. Pandas and sklearn might also be necessary (Pandas for sure).

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

pip install pandas

pip install sklearn

If after this it still doesn't work, try installing ffi. After all the other stuff, this is the one that worked for me.

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev

THIS is what made it properly do the wheel stuff for cryptography and ciffi.

Using a Pip3 command might work for some, but didn't change the fact for me thatI didn't have the proper tools installed. Hope this works for you.

P.S. I also thought that it had to do with me using virtual environments or the quandl repository but those seemed totally unrelated to the error, as it was actually trying to install, but was just missing the tools it needed.

The Scikit Learn and pandas are already installed. I will try sudo apt-get install libffi-dev My time is limited. At the first opportunity, I will try it. Thanks for the answer. PS : In windows it works fine. — Anastasios Alexandridis, Jun 01 '17 at 11:57
