ImportError: No module named pkgconfig

I can't install the latest version (1.0.1):

 % mkvirtualenv test
New python executable in /media/projects/.virtualenvs/test/bin/python

Running into this same issue as well when trying to pip install python3-saml. It worked when installing 0.6.1 of xmlsec, but now with 1.0.1 out it fails with the same ImportError: No module named pkgconfig error.

A direct pip install of 1.0.1 fails as well.
python version: 3.4.4

Hello, thank you for report. I will provide fix as soon as possible.
As workaround I can suggest this:

pip install pkgconfig lxml>=3.0

fixed in version 1.0.4
