Having trouble building pynacl

Question

I've been trying to build pynacl (https://github.com/pyca/pynacl). But I'm having some trouble. I'm running ubuntu and I've tried installing libsodium and everything else I can think of but still same problem.

When I run: python setup.py install i get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 202, in <module>
    name=nacl.__title__,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__title__'

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? ps I'm pretty new to python

update: I'm running Python 2.7.5+

Can you provide more information? Which python version are you using? Are you using virtualenv? Do you have another nacl module/package somewhere in your pythonpath? — Mauro De Giorgi, Jun 19 '14 at 18:28
I'm running python 2.7.5+, I don't know what virtualenv is so probably not :) "nacl module/package somewhere in your pythonpath", how do I check that? — user1930848, Jun 19 '14 at 18:33
You can try to import the module in a python shell: >>> import nacl >>> nacl.__title__ 'PyNaCl' >>> nacl.__path__ — Mauro De Giorgi, Jun 19 '14 at 18:41
So probably you have it already installed somehow, try to print nacl.__path__ to see where it is. — Mauro De Giorgi, Jun 19 '14 at 18:46

I went to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ and deleted everything that had nacl in it. Now it works!
