root permissions & openssl/aes.h file not found

Running with user permissions:

$ python setup.py install
Checking .pth file support in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-12740.pth'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

  https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

Running with sudo:
$ sudo python setup.py install
Generates some warning, and then the fatal error:

scrypt-1.1.6/lib/crypto/crypto_aesctr.c:38:10: fatal error: 'openssl/aes.h' file not found

Then when trying to execute:

$ pappy -l
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think there is some dependency for scrypt that you do not have installed. I vaguely remember running into this a while ago but I must have just fixed it myself and forgotten to document it. Sicne a dependency is missing, the scrypt library isn't being installed. Then because Pappy depends on the library, Pappy isn't being run. I don't know what the dependency is off the top of my head unfortunately. I suggest setting up a virtual environment and seeing if you can install the scrypt by itself.
