Installing it locally with `python setup.py` install works fine but `pip install pykrylov` breaks with the messages below. I since removed it from PyPI but I get the same error message if I try installing from the git repository. I'm hoping someone can put me on track as I've no idea what's wrong. You can see my setup.py here:

Can you install a more recent setuptools by downloading it and running
the setup.py yourself?
