I am trying to install fuse-python package, when I run 

python setup.py build

It fails, when I checked the contents of setup.py I found this line

if os.system('pkg-config --exists fuse 2> /dev/null') == 0

this line fails. Also when I check PKG_CONFIG_PATH 

echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

it prints nothing. Any sort of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

In Ubuntu the package is libfuse-dev, so to install sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev should do the trick.

Most likely you haven't got the fuse development package installed. You don't say which OS you are using, but on openSuSE

zypper install fuse-devel

should do the trick.

I used sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev and it worked

I had a similar problem. If you have a 64 bit ubuntu like me just install pkg-config via
sudo apt install pkg-config
The problem was, that the 32 bit Version of pkg-config was installed. By installing pkg-config again it installs the 64bit version
