yara-python outdated

There seems to be a problem with yara-python in the current build. I am getting compile errors running setup.sh. Also manually performing the yara-python install from the tools/yara-python directory gave me the following error below at _ERROR_. I had yara-python installed and attempted it with apt install and pip install of both python2.7 and python3 but still no luck. APKiD would fail with an error telling me that yara-python failed to meet the requirement of yara-python==3.5.0.999.

Eventually I was able to correct the issue by manually cloning APKiD from https://github.com/rednaga/APKiD and quoting out the APKiD section in your setup.sh file. Hope this helps. :EDIT: System is Kali Linux 2016.2 Rolling Release

Thank you for pointing this out. I have updated the setup file so that it pulls the correct version of yara-python during the setup process.
