I tried to install using pip on MacOS and Ubuntu and got the same error:

Hi,

Which version of setuptools are you using?

[anantzoid]

I'm using Setuptools Version: 20.2.2 and Pip Version: 8.1.2

[rbarrois]

Could you try with a more recent version of setuptools? It seems that we have issues with setuptools<22.0

It should be fixed by https://github.com/Polyconseil/zbarlight/commit/d3403e5da3941963c48e0fa1ae2a045aeb4ffba3. I have published the 1.0.2 release on PyPI.

I close the issue for now (Installation works for me on Debian Jessie and setuptools 5.5.1), but if the problem is still here on your OS, feel free to reopen it.
