Installing library with easy_install

I am trying to install a library for sparse matrices called sparsesvd. When I use either easy_install or pip I get an error, for not finding a file.

I also tried downloading the library, and installing it manually with sudo python setup.py install, but the same error appears.

The error basically reads like this:

Error: /...some directories.../README.rst: No such file or directory

Does someone know what the problem might be? Thank you in advance. Diego

The package located at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/stashy/0.1 is apparently not maintained, it hasn't any requirements.txt either.

I cloned the source from github - it worked:

git clone https://github.com/RisingOak/stashy.git
cd stashy
python setup.py install

in the file setup.py and the file test.py I have replaced the line load(README.rst) by load(README.txt) and it works perfectly

This may not be the best idea but since it's just a README file just make a dummy empty file in that exact path.

I tried installing it and it seems it's broken (the setup.py file is broken at line 37 - it tries to read this README.rst file). So perhaps you should contact the authors of the library.
