Unable to install through `easy_install`

[firegurafiku]

Hi. I've tried installing the package with easy_install-3.4 (for some reason I prefer easy_install over pip), but it has reported me the following error:

Installing via pip3.4 works, though. Is there something wrong with your ./setup.py script?

Pavel, I will need to look into this more carefully. Do you have matplotlib
installed locally? If not, that could very well be the issue.

No, I'm pretty sure I've installed matplotlib. Moreover, when I tried to make a clean virtual-env installation, I ran into troubles once again:

$ virtualenv-3.4 ~/test-venv-3.4
$ ~/test-venv-3.4/bin/easy_install matplotlib
(Lots of output)

Pavel, thanks for the feedback. I'll have to give this a shot on my machine
to see if I can reproduce the issue. I'm not seeing a clear indication of
what might be causing it from the logs you posted.

If you're still interested in trying out EasyPlot, I'd recommend simply
downloading the EasyPlot.py file and having that somewhere accessible to
your Python install. This is a pretty light weight and simple library and
is contained in one file, so it should be very easy to use even without
going the route of pip/easy install. I used this as a learning experience
to figure out how to put something up on PyPi and have it installable via
pip and easy install. Clearly the latter did not pan out though I'm pretty
sure it worked well for me locally when I first wrote this library.
