Setup.py ends with error: Bad marshal data 'unknown type code)

[hvasseur]

Hi,

I am running Archlinux, I to install QSTK on my machine, unsuccessfully.

I did every steps described in script Ubuntu.sh, adaptating them for arch. First I was using python3; but then I saw that Validation.py specified to used python2.7.

So I use pip to re-install dependencies on python 2.7.

However I have the same issue with both python 2.7 and python 3 when trying to finalize the installation of QSTK on archlinux. I have installed all dependencies. When running "sudo python setup.py install". it ends with the error:
ValueError: bad marshal data (unknown type code)

here the complete TraceBack

I fixed this by setting "zip_safe=False" to bypass the error in setup.py. Another error occured: none of the depedencies I had installed previously was found. I comment the depedencies in setpu.py because I did download and installed them.

But when running Validation.py, it failed with an error in code in:

 import QSTK.qstkutil.tsutil as tsu
    import QSTK.qstkutil.qsdateutil as du
    import QSTK.qstkutil.DataAccess as da
