No module named Cython.Distutils

I am getting the following error when try to install fastthreadpool library from pypi. Suspect that setup.py does not have a dependency on Cython. If Cython installed prior to fastthreadpool, no error below happens.

$ pip install fastthreadpool

Hmm. It looks like https://github.com/brmmm3/fastthreadpool/blob/b7dc56d9b44b2d083724ba117de7e9c83a9ee9d4/setup.py#L129 has dependency on Cython. Not sure why it does not work for me...

I always end up building from source when I use this in a project. Make sure g++ is installed in your system. Then: git clone https://github.com/brmmm3/fastthreadpool.git cd fastthreadpool pip3 install -r requirements.txt python3 setup.py install
