Installation with PIP failing due to elementtree requirement

[maxmumford]

Hey,

I'm trying to install your module using pip and the error message below is telling me that it is failing due to elementtree requirement not being satisfied:

$ sudo pip install sharpy
Downloading/unpacking sharpy
  Downloading Sharpy-0.8.tar.gz
  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_root/sharpy/setup.py) egg_info for package sharpy

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): httplib2 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from sharpy)
Downloading/unpacking elementtree (from sharpy)
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement elementtree (from sharpy)
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for elementtree (from sharpy)
Storing debug log for failure in /home/max/.pip/pip.log

Afaik the lxml package provides elementtree, and it is already installed:

$ sudo pip install lxml
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): lxml in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Cleaning up...

Any ideas what is causing this?

Thanks
Max
