Comment 1 for bug 953535

Strangely, for me it installs successfully only out of a virtualenv. These are the truncated results for me:

Under a virtualenv:

Cleaning up...

Somehow it seems that under the virtualenv it's unable to cython _scanner.pyx to _scanner.c, maybe it stops considering the existence of a Cython installation.

Sorry for not being able to find the exact problem, but I hope I gave some clue to where it might reside.

Cheers,
