I really appreciate your guide and help in advance.

I was just facing this issue and found I was missing a couple of dependencies for the cryptography package:

For Debian and Ubuntu, the following command will ensure that the required dependencies are installed:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

For Fedora and RHEL-derivatives, the following command will ensure that the required dependencies are installed:

$ sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel

(From: https://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/#building-cryptography-on-linux)

I'm installing on a minimal CentOS6.5 VM and found that I also needed:

libxml2-devel and libxslt-devel

Once done, pip install mitmproxy worked. Hope that helps!
