Error while installing mockito==0.5.2

[spafe]

Hi There, I was trying to install mockito 0.5.2 version with below setup Centos - 6.6 python - 2.6.6 pip - 1.5.6

But I was getting error messages even though I had nose (1.3.7) is installed on the box. It would be great help if you can shed some light on this.

Why are you using such an obscure version 🤣

IIRC, 0.5.2 has install problems. So 0.5.3 is minimal here.

Latest version for python 2.6 is btw 0.7.1

Thank you Kaste for your feedback. We have some legacy code and which need mockito (0.5.2) but never mind we found one alternative solution.
