Pip install -t raises error

[juliankmazo]

Hi.

I'm trying to install python-firebase with pip and got an error.

pip install -e git://github.com/mikexstudios/python-firebase.git#egg=python-firebase -t lib
I'm getting this error:

Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize; file='/home/julian/Developer/work/teachme/src/python-firebase/setup.py'; exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), file, 'exec'))" develop --no-deps --home=/tmp/tmpbKbMOz failed with error code 1 in /home/julian/Developer/work/teachme/src/python-firebase

Some idea of what is happening?

Just to confirm the bug appears when using the -t flag of pip command. It occur always, when in a virtual env or not. It seems to be a bug of setup tools and there is no workaround yet...
