The package claims to be in version 3.5.0:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ldtp/3.5.0

But on https://pypi.python.org/simple/ldtp/ there is only version 1.0.0. The same for https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ldtp/json

Pip also thinks there is only 1.0.0, this would be ok but even this version results in error on install:

$ sudo pip install ldtp --verbose

Download url http://download.freedesktop.org/ldtp/3.x/3.5.x/ldtp-3.5.0.tar.gz does not work as well.

Seems that everything about this package is broken. On debian you have to do apt-get install ldtp but this solution does not play nicely with virtualenv.

This is basically a duplicate of #365. The broken URL should be reported to LDTP developers: https://wiki.freedesktop.org/ldtp/Mailing_List_IRC/
