Dear Team,

I tried to install py-couchdb in ubuntu12.04 with CouchDB 1.6.1 and python 2.7 as well as python 3.3 and got the installation errors as given below:

$ pip install pycouchdb
Downloading/unpacking pycouchdb
Downloading pycouchdb-1.13.tar.gz
Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_otc/pycouchdb/setup.py) egg_info for package pycouchdb

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_otc/pycouchdb

Please advise.

Hi @rkphilip45
As a quick solution you can run pip install requirements before pycouch installation.

It's a bug of latest version which fixed now.
Thanks!
