Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS x64 with Python 2.7 Fails to Build about python-mbedtls

[Synss]

I can reproduce it although I get a slightly different error.

I could be missing files... I used to ship the generated C sources but I stopped as it should not be necessary.

I'll try 0.9 in my Ubuntu VM.

[Synss]

I just released 0.9.0 and it should work for Python 2.7 and 3.4+, could you please test it and tell me if it works for you as well?

[Synss]

Thank you for your report. I will look into it.

[unflavoredgelatin]

Thank you for looking into it!

The archive on pypi is not what I meant to be 0.8! I have withdrawn 0.8 from pypi and will prepare a 0.9. In the meantime, you can install 0.7.

For 0.7, you need libmbedtls-dev and libpython-dev, then pip install python-mbedtls should work as expected.

Thank you again for reporting! I would not have found this mistake otherwise.

[unflavoredgelatin]

Thank you! I will wait for 0.9!

I tried to follow as you suggested for 0.7, but run into a different error:

It works perfectly! Thank you so much for getting this done for me so quickly! You're the best!
