Python module ecdsa errors while running paramiko

Question

I am trying to install paramiko module..it fails with the below error

python ./test.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test.py", line 30, in <module>
    import paramiko
  File "/tmp/build-paramiko/paramiko-1.12.0/paramiko/__init__.py", line 64, in <module>
    from transport import SecurityOptions, Transport
  File "/tmp/build-paramiko/paramiko-1.12.0/paramiko/transport.py", line 45, in <module>
    from paramiko.ecdsakey import ECDSAKey
  File "/tmp/build-paramiko/paramiko-1.12.0/paramiko/ecdsakey.py", line 24, in <module>
    from ecdsa import SigningKey, VerifyingKey, der, curves
ImportError: No module named ecdsa

Any suggestions on how to proceed with the paramiko installation ?

How are you trying to install it? You shouldn't need to manually install dependencies. — Blender, Dec 11 '13 at 16:58
I am installing using "python setup.py install" after downloading the package.... I have already installed ecdsa using the same steps — satishkumar432, Dec 11 '13 at 17:01
You really don't need to do this. Install Pip and just run `pip install paramiko`. — Blender, Dec 11 '13 at 17:39
i understand that pip is the package manager for paramiko..but i would like to have ht ecdsa as a package separately so that i install it everytime i build my application. — satishkumar432, Dec 11 '13 at 21:30
Pip is the Python package manager. It has nothing to do with the `paramiko` module. — Blender, Dec 11 '13 at 21:42
great..pip works with ease..thanks for the suggestion and patience in answering :) — satishkumar432, Dec 12 '13 at 03:25

Download the package from 'https://github.com/warner/python-ecdsa' and install it using command

You can use easy_install to install the lost module "ecdsa" ,which like: easy_install ecdsa, but you have to ready easy_install first!

this:

    from ecdsa import SigningKey, VerifyingKey, der, curves
ImportError: No module named ecdsa

suggests that the python-ecdsa package is missing, you can install it with

pip install ecdsa

Though in general, you shouldn't need to install paramiko from sources. You can install it with

pip install paramiko

that has the benefit of automatically resolving the dependencies of a package
